| dc.description | Multiple images, giant arcs, Einstein cross, fold, cusp, lip, caustics, critical lines, sources, mapping, time delay, arclets, weak shear, magnification bias, depletion, ellipticities, polarization, smearing, convergence, kernel, mass reconstruction, sub-structure, dark halos, natural telescope, amplification, distant galaxies, faintest sources ... This is a non exhaustive list of favorite terms used when using gravitational lensing in clusters of galaxies. I will introduce here lensing in clusters as a useful tool in modern observational cosmology. I will give a summary of what we are learning in terms of cluster mass distribution in the strong and weak regime, and what information we will gain in terms of the cluster physics. I will underline the benefit of using cluster-lenses as natural telescopes to probe the distant Universe. | |
