Gravitational lensing

One of the most powerful probes of dark energy is weak gravitational lensing. After reviewing the prospects for future measurements of lensing and the constraints expected on dark energy and modified gravity, I present our recent results on lensing in Stripe 82 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.
