Prospects for Clusters
Oustanding questions: • Combine weak lensing with X-rays: compare lensing and X-ray masses measurement of the M-T relation• Construction of a mass-selected cluster catalogue• Measurement of the density profiles of clusters stacking

Lensing by GroupsHoekstra et al. 2000:50 galaxy groups from CNOC2 survey with v=50-400 km/s, <z>=0.33

Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing
Lensing with SDSS: Fischer et al. 2000; McKay et al. 2001
Effectively stack a large number of foreground galaxies and measure the average tangential shear using background galaxies.
Galaxies (esp. ellipticals) are members of groups and clusters

Mass and light in Galaxies
Fit Mass-Luminosity relation: M = a L (within 260 kpc/h)
Poor M-L relation in u-band ML in other bands M/L~100-300 in all bands
McKay et al. 2001

Gray et al. 2001(see also Kaiser et al. 1998)
•Evidence for a filament•M/L varies from cluster to cluster•Cross-correlation: reveals non-linear or stochastic biasing
Careful when deriving mfrom M/L

Cosmic Shear
• Mapping of the distribution of Dark Matter on various scales
• Measurement of cosmological parameters, breaking degeneracies present in other methods (SNe, CMB)
• Measurement of the evolution of structures
• Test of gravitational instability paradigm
• Test of General Relativity in the weak field regime
From the statistics of the shear field, weak lensing provides:

Normalisation of the Power Spectrum
Moderate disagreement between the previous and most recent cosmic shear measurements This could be due to residual systematics Better agreement with new cluster abundance normalisation Otherwise, may require revision of the CDM paradigm

Conclusions
• Weak lensing is based on clean physics and provides a direct measure of the distribution of mass in the universe
• Weak lensing now provides precise measurements on a wide range of scales: galaxies, groups, clusters, superclusters, large-scale structure
• Upcoming surveys with wide field cameras offer exciting prospects for weak lensing
