Weak Lensing Analysis of A2390 Using Short Exposures

We present a weak lensing analysis of the galaxy cluster A2390 at z = 0.23 using second moment shape measurements made in 411 short 60 s exposures.The exposures are obtained in three broadband photometric filters ( g , r , and i ) using WIYN-ODI.Shape measurement in individual exposures is done using a moment-matching algorithm.Forced measurement i
