Study of the depletion effect in the cluster MS1008-1224
Christophe Mayen, Genevieve Soucail
We present a detailed study of the depletion effect (the radial manifestation of the magnification bias) in the cluster MS1008-1224. Following our results concerning the simulation…

Depletion curves of galaxy number counts behind cluster lenses
C. Mayen, G. Soucail
When the logarithmic slope of the galaxy counts is lower than 0.4 (this is the case in all filters at high magnitude), the magnification bias due to the lens makes the number densi…
