  1. Constraining Galaxy Cluster Triaxiality via Weak Lensing -- I. Preparation for the Rubin Data Beyond Leading Order

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Galaxy clusters have an average projected ellipticity of 0.310 with axis ratio 0.527, showing no significant mass or redshift dependence, measured via weak lensing on DES Y3 data and verified with mocks.
