Wide-Field Lensing Mass Maps from DES Science Verification Data: Methodology and Detailed Analysis
V. Vikram, C. Chang, B. Jain +91
Weak gravitational lensing allows one to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the projected mass density across the sky. These "mass maps" provide a powerful tool for studying c…
