Gravitational Lensing and the search for Dark Matter
Can someone point me to a good explanation of this method ? I.e. by
analysing lensing effects in a galaxy cluster, it is possible to map the distribution of DM within the cluster, and presumably also to estimate the amount of DM present in the cluster. Thanks, AM [Mod. note: there are many reviews of this topic that you can find with a search engine or by searching ADS. For a recent one try http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.3274 -- mjh] |
