Whilst X-rays and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations allow to study the properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, their gravitational potential may be constrained using strong gravitational lensing. Although being…

In this paper, we compare three methods to reconstruct galaxy cluster density fields with weak lensing data. The first method called FLens integrates an inpainting concept to invert the shear field with possible gaps, and a multi-scale…

Observed Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) maps are contaminated by foregrounds, some of which are usually masked to perform cosmological analyses. If masks are correlated to the lensing signal, such as those removing extragalactic…
