dc.descriptionWe demonstrate through the use of a simple toy model that asphericity in dark matter halos has a measurable effect on the configuration dependence of the weak lensing shear 3-point function at small scales. This sensitivity provides a way, in principle, to measure the shapes of dark matter halos. The distribution of halo ellipticities should be included in models aiming at a high fidelity prediction of n-point shear correlation statistics.
