Weak Gravitational Lensing: Current Status and Future Prospects

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

In this review I will describe progress that has been made in determining masses of galaxy clusters using `weak lensing' and how this technique my be applied in the future to determine the dark matter distribution both on supercluster scales and on the scale of galaxy haloes.
