Lecture ``Weak gravitational lensing'' (Le lentillage gravitationnel), Martin Kilbinger.

Find here links to the lecture notes, TD exercises, "tables rondes" topics, and other information.

• Resources.
  • A great and detailed introduction to (weak) gravitational lensing are the 2005 Saas Fee lecture notes by Peter Schneider. Download Part I (Introduction to lensing) and Part III (Weak lensing) from my homepage.
  • Check out Sarah Bridle's video lectures on WL from 2014.
• TD cycle 1+2, Data analysis.
  1.  We will work on a rather large (150 MB) weak-lensing catalogues from the public CFHTLenS web page. During the TD I will show instructions how to create and download this catalogue. These catalogues will also be available on the virtual machine for the school.
     If you like, you can however download the catalogue on your laptop at home. Please have a look at the instructions in the TD slides.
  2. If you want to do the TD on your laptop, you'll need to download and install athena (the newest version 1.7). Available on the VM.
  3.  For one of the bonus TD you'll need a new version of pallas.py (v 1.8beta). Download it here. Available on the VM.
• Lecture notes and exercise classes.  You can already download the slides in one file (40 - 60 MB), but be ware that the content will still change slightly until the classes.
  • Part I (Cycle 1):    [all | day 1 (1/6)  |   day 2 (2/6) |  day 3 (3/6)]
