摘要
We present a direct detection of the growth of large-scale structure, using weak gravitational lensing and photometric redshift data from the COMBO-17 survey. Deep R-band imaging of two 0.5 x 0.5 square degree fields is used to provide shear estimates for over 52000 galaxies; these are combined with photometric redshift estimates from our 17 band survey, in order to obtain a 3-D shear field. We discuss how theoretical models for evolving matter power spectra and correlation functions cab be used to find a best fit to this 3-D shear field. We present the detection of the evolution of the power, and measurements of the rate of evolution for 0 < z < 1. We discuss future refinements which will improve the accuracy with which the effect can be measured.
