Can Lensing Measure The Shape Of Dark Matter Halos?

The aim of this project was to explore the shapes of dark matter halos using high resolution N-body simulations. One of the main aspects explored was how well the shape can be measured through weak lensing. To explore this, simulations were run using the GADGET-2 code \cite{SPRING05} and a method us...
