On arcs and [Omega]

The gravitational lens effect of galaxy clusters can produce large arcs from source galaxies in their background. Typical source redshifts of ~ 1 require clusters at z ~ 0.3 for arcs to form efficiently. Given the cluster abundance at the present epoch, the fewer clusters exist at z ~ 0.3 the higher...
