Constraining the mass distribution of galaxies using galaxy-galaxy lensing in clusters and in the field
We present a maximum-likelihood analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing effects in galaxy clusters and in the field. The aim is to determine the accuracy and robustness of constraints that can be obtained on galaxy halo properties in both environments: the high-density cluster and the low-density field. This paper is theoretically motivated, …
