Measuring Gravitational Lensing Flexion in A1689 Using an Analytic Image Model

Measuring dark matter substructure within galaxy cluster halos is a fundamental probe of the ΛCDM model of structure formation. Gravitational lensing is a technique for measuring the total mass distribution which is independent of the nature of the gravitating matter, making it a vital tool for stud...
