Strong and weak lensing by galaxy clusters

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I present an overview of strong and weak gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters. After briefly introducing the principles of gravitational lensing, I discuss the main lessons learned from lensing on the mass distribution in clusters and their relation to cosmology.
