Abstract

In this work, the spacetime geometry of the halo region in spiral galaxies is obtained considering the observed flat galactic rotation curve feature, invoking the Tully–Fisher relation and assuming the presence of cold dark matter in the galaxy. The gravitational lensing analysis is performed treating the so-obtained spacetime as a gravitational lens. It is found that the aforementioned spacetime as the gravitational lens can consistently explain the galaxy–galaxy weak gravitational lensing observations and the lensing observations of the well-known Abell 370 and Abell 2390 galaxy clusters.
