Lines of sight with multiple, projected, cluster-scale halos have high total masses and complex lens plane interactions that can boost the area of magnification, or etendue, making detection of faint background sources more likely than…
Cluster gravitational lensing surveys like the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields survey will detect distant galaxies 10-50 times fainter than any yet discovered. Using these surveys to measure the luminosity function of such faint,…
