I am interested in the properties of dark matter halos, from galaxy to cluster
scales. The main tools i use are gravitational lensing and N-body simulations
Weak Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing in Clusters
- PaperI: Constraining the mass distribution of galaxies
using galaxy-galaxy lensing in clusters and in the field, 2005 MNRAS
- PaperII:
Truncation of galaxy dark matter halos in high
density environments, 2007 A&A
- Moriond Meeting, March 2006: Galaxy-galaxy lensing as a probe of
galaxy dark matter halos:
A New Window of Exploration in the Mass Spectrum:
Strong Lensing BY Galaxy Groups in the SL2S
Combining Strong and Weak Gravitational Lensing in Abell 1689
Probing the Truncation of Galaxy Dark Matter Halos in High Density Environments
from Hydrodynamical N-body Simulations
Probing the Slope of Cluster Mass Profile with Gravitational Rings:
Application to Abell 1689
Tu, Limousin et al., 2008: MNRAS, 386, 1169.
Strong Lensing in Abell 1703: Constraints on the Slope of the Inner Dark Matter Distribution
- Abell 1703 web page:
Paper (A&A in press) and modelling data available. Check out a \emph{remarkable} lensing configuration (and a pretty picture) !!
Where is the matter in the Merging Cluster Abell 2218 ?
