Multipole analysis of cluster weak lensing shear in The Three Hundred project

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.

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.
