Scientific paper

CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES are massive and relatively rare objects containing hundreds of galaxies. Their huge mass—dominated by DARK MATTER—bends light from all background objects, systematically distorting the images of thousands of distant galaxies (shear). This observed gravitational lens distortion can be inverted to produce an `image' of the mass in the foreground cluster of galaxies. Most of the...
