Title: | Gravitational lensing and dark matter and dark energy |
Abstract: | Gravitational lensing caused by cosmic hierarchical structures provide a unique method to directly map the dark matter distribution in the universe. In my talk I will describe how the gravitational lensing methods can be used to explore the nature of dark matter and the nature of dark energy. I will emphasize the strengths of Subaru telescope for the precise measurement of the lensing observables thanks to the excellent image quality and widest Field-of-View compared to other telescopes. |
