Can Lensing Measure The Shape Of Dark Matter Halos?
(University of Waterloo, 2012-09-27)The aim of this project was to explore the shapes of dark matter halos using high resolution N-body simulations. One of the main aspects explored was how well the shape can be measured through weak lensing. To explore this, ... -
The Shape of Dark Matter Haloes: Results from Weak Lensing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-25)Dark matter haloes are expected to have a triaxial shape, appearing elliptical in projection. Understanding the orientation of these dark matter haloes, and how they are aligned, has implications for theories of structure ...
