- This paper describes measurements of strong gravitational lensing and weak gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters. These are separate effects. I developed the analysis software for the weak lensing analysis, which is described in section 3.2. This included an updated measurement of and correction for radiation damage (‘CTI’) to Hubble at the date of the observations, and measurement of Hubble’s thermal expansion/contraction during the observations. We used these measurements, plus software developed by myself and Rhodes, to measure the shapes of galaxies – the ‘weak lensing signal’. I then helped compare this measurement to the strong lensing signal, and astrophysical consequences.
