As light propagates through the Universe, its path is altered by the presence of massive objects. This causes a distortion of the images of distant galaxies. Measuring this effect, called weak gravitational lensing, allows us to probe the large scale structure of the Universe. This makes it a powerful source of cosmological insight, and can in particular be used to study the distribution of dark matter and the nature of Dark Energy. The European Space Agency’s upcoming Euclid mission is a spaceborne telescope with weak lensing as one of its primary science objectives.In practice, the weak lensing signal is recovered from the measurement of the shapes of galaxies. The images obtained by any optical instrument are altered by its Point Spread ...
