Realistic simulations of gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters: extracting arc parameters from mock DUNE images

We present a newly developed code that allows simulations of optical observations of galaxy fields with a variety of instruments. The code incorporates gravitational lensing effects and is targetted at simulating lensing by galaxy clusters. Our goal is to create the tools required for comparing theo...
