Abstract

The wealth of strong lensing features observed in the Frontier Fields clusters offers insights on the nature of dark energy. The large number of multiple-images systems with redshifts allows to simultaneously estimate the lens model parameters and the cosmological parameters involved in the distances calculations. In particular for the ΛCDM model, it is possible to estimate the matter density Ω m and the dark energy equations parameters w X. In this talk, I will present recent analyses of systematic errors based on Frontier Fields observed and simulated data.
