The amplitude of the initial density fluctuation spectrum from lensing statistics

van Kampen, Eelco

Original · EN

A complete catalogue of galaxy cluster models can be used to constrain cosmological parameters like σ₈, the amplitude of the initial density fluctuation spectrum. We focus here on two strong lensing statistics for clusters of galaxies: the fraction of rich Abell clusters that are critical to lensing, and the abundance of arcs in such clusters, especially the X-ray luminous ones. The specific aim of this paper is to constrain σ₈ for the standard Cold Dark Matter scenario within an Einstein-de Sitter universe.
