Cluster Lenses and Dark Matter Distribution in Clusters of Galaxies

  • Chapter
Cosmological Aspects of X-Ray Clusters of Galaxies

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 441))

Abstract

The recent observations of some exceptional cases of lenses, with multiple tangential and radial arc(let)s have demonstrated that the dark matter distribution on scales of 10... 1000 kpc may be inferred from gravitational optics. I review the most important issues concerning the dark matter in clusters using arcs, arclets, lensed pairs and the weak shear techniques.
