STELLAR MASSES AND STAR FORMATION RATES OF LENSED DUSTY STAR-FORMING... FROM THE SPT SURVEY
... Note. — We adopt the source redshift for SPT0538-50 obtained with ATCA CO(1-0) spectroscopy by Aravena et al. (2013). The lens parameters derived from GALFIT (e.g., Sérsic index, effective radius) are held fixed during the de-blending process. For the ones with multiple components, we list the Sérs ...

A fundamental property of the −2 power law function is that the luminosity of the brightest object (Lmax) scales linearly with the total number of ...

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.
