... Gravitational microlensing of giant luminous arcs: . a test for compact dark matter in clusters of galaxies . ... This paper discusses a new test for the detection of stellar mass compact dark matter in galaxy clusters by observing its gravitational lensing influence on the surface brightness of giant luminous arcs. ... With the advent of the Next Generation Space Telescope, cluster dark matter in the form of compact objects will induce a ubiquitous `shimmering' of the giant arcs. ... Giant Arcs . ...
