Steps towards nonlinear cluster inversion through gravitational distortions: III. Including a redshift distribution of the sources
Carolin Seitz, Peter Schneider
In a series of previous papers we have considered the reconstruction of the surface mass density of a cluster of galaxies from images of lensed faint background galaxies. We showed…
The Mass Distribution of CL0939+4713 obtained from a `Weak' Lensing Analysis of a WFPC2 image
Carolin Seitz, Jean-Paul Kneib, Peter Schneider +1
The image distortions of high-redshift galaxies caused by gravitational light deflection of foreground clusters of galaxies can be used to reconstruct the two-dimensional surface m…
Steps towards Nonlinear Cluster Inversion Through Gravitational Distortions. II. Generalization of the Kaiser & Squires Method
Carolin Seitz, Peter Schneider
The weak distortions of high-redshift galaxies caused by gravitational light deflection near clusters of galaxies can be used to reconstruct the projected (two-dimensional) surface…
Steps towards Nonlinear Cluster Inversion Through Gravitational Distortions. I. Basic Considerations and Circular Clusters
Peter Schneider, Carolin Seitz
The distortion of images of faint, high-redshift galaxies by light deflection at foreground clusters of galaxies can be used to determine the (projected) mass distribution of the c…
