From the observance of the HSS team and SCP team in 1998, they gained the mass density of the negative(HSS: ΩM = −0.38(±0.22), SCP: ΩM = −0.4(±0.1) ), using field equations which do not have the cosmological constant. In they thought, the quantity of the mass couldn’t be a negative value, so the val ...

From that figure, we found that our photometric redshifts fit the spectroscopic ...

Weak gravitational lensing



While the presence of any mass bends the path of light passing near it, this effect rarely produces the giant arcs and multiple images associated with strong gravitational lensing. Most lines of sight in the universe are thoroughly in the weak lensing regime, in which the deflection is impossible to detect in a single background source. However, even in these cases, the presence of the foreground mass can be detected, by way of a systematic alignment of background sources around the lensing mass. Weak gravitational lensing is thus an intrinsically statistical measurement, but it provides a way to measure the masses of astronomical objects without requiring assumptions about their composition or dynamical state.
