Galaxy Mass and Luminosity Scaling Laws Determined by Weak Gravitational Lensing

Timothy A. McKay, Erin Scott Sheldon, Judith Racusin +18

We present new measurements of scaling laws relating the luminosity of galaxies to the amplitude and shape of their dark matter halos. Early imaging and spectroscopic data from the…
