Cosmic Shear and Clusters of Galaxies
Y. Mellier, L. van Waerbeke, T. Erben +9
The first detections of cosmic shear signal reported recently by 4 independent groups cover angular scales between one and 10 arcmin. On those scales, the cosmic shear is a signatu…
Cosmic Shear with the VLT
R. Maoli, Y. Mellier, L. van Waerbeke +5
We report on the detection of cosmic shear on angular scales of 1.3-6.5 arcmin using 45 independent empty fields observed with the Very Large Telescope (VLT). This result confirms…
How accurately can we measure weak gravitational shear?
Thomas Erben, Ludovick Van Waerbeke, Emmanuel Bertin +2
With the recent detection of cosmic shear, the most challenging effect of weak gravitational lensing has been observed. The main difficulties for this detection were the need for a…
Detection of correlated galaxy ellipticities on CFHT data: first evidence for gravitational lensing by large-scale structures
L. Van Waerbeke, Y. Mellier, T. Erben +10
We report the detection of a significant (5.5 sigma) excess of correlations between galaxy ellipticities at scales ranging from 0.5 to 3.5 arc-minutes. This detection of a gravitat…
