Wide-field lensing mass maps from Dark Energy Survey science verification data: Methodology and detailed analysis

Wide-field lensing mass maps from Dark Energy Survey science verification data: Methodology and detailed analysis

Weak gravitational lensing allows one to reconstruct the spatial distribution of the projected mass density across the sky. These ā€œmass mapsā€ provide a powerful tool for studying cosmology as they probe both luminous and dark matter. In this paper, we present a weak lensing mass map reconstructed from shear measurements ā€¦
