Using a weak gravitational lensing measure called flexion (the "banana"-ness of an image) the underlying structure of Dark Matter in galaxy clusters can be probed. Most of the mass in galaxy clusters is contained in Dark Matter, so called because it is not observable through normal optical means. General relativity tells us that extremely massive objects.

The Department of Physics at Drexel University provides a solid understanding of physical principles, problem solving, mathematical and computational skills, as well as broad experimental training. Graduate Teaching Assistants provide extra learning opportunities for students learning the necessary skills to understand and approach problems in the physical.
