P.; Wang, L.; Xu, C.K.; Zemcov, M.; Yan, L.Gravitational lensing increases the angular size and integrated flux of affected sources. It is exploited to investigate the mass distribution of the foreground lensing structures and the properties of the background lensed galaxies (see reviews by Bartelmann 2010; Treu 2010). The magnification provided by gravitational lensing makes it an effective tool for identifying and studying intrinsically faint and typically distant galaxies (e.g., Stark et al. 2007; Richard et al. 2008, 2011). The flux boost from lensing yields an improved detection, and the associated spatial enhancement increases the ability to investigate the internal structure of distant galaxies to levels otherwise unattainable with the current generation of instrumentation (e.g., Riechers et al. 2008; Swinbank et al. 2010, 2011; Gladders et al. 2012). Furthermore, gravitational lensing probes the total mass of the foreground deflectors, including the relative content of dark and luminous mass. In combination with dynamical studies, lensing mass reconstruction allows one to obtain the density profile of the dark matter in individual lensing galaxies down to ~10 kpc scales (e.g., Miralda-Escude 1995; Dalal & Kochanek 2002; Metcalf & Zhao 2002; Rusin & Kochanek 2005; Treu & Koopmans 2004).Item HerMES: The contribution to the cosmic infrared background from galaxies selected by mass and redshift(American Astronomical Society, 2013) Viero, M. P.; Monclesi, L.; Quadri, L.F.; Arumugam, V.; Assef, R.J.; Bethermin, M.; Bock, J.; Bridge, C.; Casey, C.M.; Conley, A.; Cooray, Asantha; Farrah, D.; Glenn, J.; Heinis, S.; Ibar, Edo; Ikarashi, S.; Ivison, R.J.; Kohno, K.; Marsden, G.; Oliver, S.J.; Roseboom, I.G.; Schulz, B.; Scott, Douglas; Serra, P.; Vaccari, M.; Vieira, J.D.; Wang, L.; Wardlow, Julie L.; Wilson, G.W.; Yun, M.S.; Zemcov, M.The cosmic infrared background (CIB), discovered in Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer (FIRAS) data from the Cosmic Background Explorer (COBE; Puget et al. 1996; Fixsen et al. 1998), originates from thermal re-radiation of imagine cutting out hundreds of thumbnails from a map centered on the positions where galaxies are known to be, and averaging those thumbnails together until an image of the average galaxy emerges from the noise. These positional priors can come in many forms, e.g., they could be catalogs of UV, optical, IR, or radio sources. Note that the output is the average of that population in the stacked maps, i.e., there will likely be sources whose actual fluxes are higher or lower. Thus, the more homogeneous the sources comprising the input list, the more meaningful the stacked flux will be.
