摘要
Recent progress on large-scale digital surveys (e.g., 2MASS, SDSS and MACHO) has demonstrated that certain astrophysical topics can only be addressed through dedicated telescopes exploring wide fields. The Dark Matter Telescope (DMT) proposed here is an 8.4 m telescope with a 3degrees field of view, for an etendue of 260 (m.degrees)(2), ten times greater than any other current or planned telescope. With its large etendue and dedicated observational mode, the DMT fills a nearly unexplored region of parameter space and enables projects which would require decades on current facilities. Here we review its unique weak lensing cosmology capabilities and the design that enables those capabilities.
