Gravitational Lensing in Clusters of Galaxies

Abstract

Gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies is an efficient tool to probe the mass distribution of galaxies and clusters, high redshift objects thanks to the gravitational amplification, and the geometry of the universe. We review some important aspects of cluster lensing and related issues in observational cosmology.
