Cosmic Shear with the VLT

Year: 2000

Type: preprint

Abstract: We report on the detection of cosmic shear on angular scales of 1.3-6.5 arcmin using 45 independent empty fields observed with the Very Large Telescope (VLT). This result confirms previous measurements obtained with the CFH Telescope at the same angular scales. We present the data analysis and the first preliminary results.
