Void Lensing in Cubic Galileon Gravity

Cheng Zhao, Huanyuan Shan, Jiaxi Yu, Qiao Wang

Weak-lensing studies via cosmic voids are a promising probe of modified gravity (MG). The excess surface mass density (ESD) is widely used as a lensing statistic in weak-lensing research. In this paper, we use the ray-tracing method to study the ESD around ...
