Scientific paper

Current theories of structure formation predict that galaxies are immersed in expansive dark matter haloes. To learn more about the baryon-dark matter connection it is therefore imperative to probe large scales as well as small. Weak galaxy-galaxy lensing has the power to do this since it not only is sensitive on a large range of scales, but also is independent of the type of matter studied. We present a study of large-scale galaxy dark matter halo properties as a function of the characteristics of the baryonic host galaxies using data from one of the largest completed weak lensing surveys to date, the CFHT Lensing Survey.
