Zusammenfassung: | Weak gravitational lensing is an important tool to estimate the masses of
galaxy clusters, as it allows us to directly access their projected surface
mass density along the line-of-sight (LOS) in a manner largely independent of
their dynamical state. Moreover, we can extract information on the projected
shape of the cluster mass distribution. In this work, we generate mock catalogs
of lensed background galaxies to measure the individual lensing properties of
galaxy clusters from the simulation project The Three Hundred. By repeating the
analysis for different projections of the same cluster, we find that the use of
shear multipoles provides constraints on the ellipticity of the cluster
projected mass density but does not have a significant impact on the cluster
mass reconstruction compared to the standard approach. |
