Prospects for weak lensing/cosmic shear with VLTs
Y. Mellier, L. van Waerbeke, E. Bertin +4
The present status of weak lensing analyses of clusters of galaxies and of cosmic shear surveys are presented and discussed. We focus on the impact of very large telescopes on pres…
Weak lensing study of Abell 2029
Brice Menard, Thomas Erben, Yannick Mellier
Abell 2029 is one of the most studied clusters due to its proximity (z=0.07), its strong X-ray brightness and its giant cD galaxy which is one of the biggest stellar aggregates we…
The first detection of weak gravitational shear in infrared observations: Abell 1689
L. J. King, D. I. Clowe, C. Lidman +4
We present the first detection of weak gravitational shear at infrared wavelengths, using observations of the lensing cluster Abell 1689, taken with the SofI camera on the ESO-NTT…
