Strong Lensing Analysis of the Cluster RCS 0224 - 0002 at z = 0 . 77
Aims. We present a detailed mass reconstruction of the cluster RCS0224-0002 at z = 0.773 from the strong lensing features observed with HST/WFPC2. Methods. The mass profile is reconstructed using a parametric approach. We introduce a novel method to fit extended multiple images based on the Modified Hausdorff Distance between observed arcs and the arcs reproduced by the model. We perform the de...
متن کاملCosmography with cluster strong lensing
By stacking an ensemble of strong lensing clusters, we demonstrate the feasibility of placing constraints on the dark energy equation of state. This is achieved by using multiple images of sources at two or more distinct redshift planes. The sample of smooth clusters in our simulations is based on observations of massive clusters and the distribution of background galaxies is constructed using ...
متن کاملSTRONG-LENSING ANALYSIS OF THE POWERFUL LENSING CLUSTER MACS J2135.2-0102 (z=0.33)
We present a light-traces-mass (LTM) strong-lensing model of the massive lensing cluster MACS J2135.2-0102 (z=0.33; hereafter MACS2135), known in part for hosting the cosmic eye galaxy lens. MACS2135 is also known to multiplylens a z=2.3 sub-millimeter galaxy near the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), as well as a prominent, triply imaged system at a large radius of ∼37′′ south of the BCG. W...
متن کاملStrong and weak lensing united I: the combined strong and weak lensing cluster mass reconstruction method
Weak gravitational lensing is considered to be one of the most powerful tools to study the mass and the mass distribution of galaxy clusters. However, the mass-sheet degeneracy transformation has limited its success. We present a novel method for a cluster mass reconstruction which combines weak and strong lensing information on common scales and can, as a consequence, break the mass-sheet dege...
متن کاملCluster Strong Lensing Constraints on Dark Energy
Cluster strong lensing can be used to obtain constraints on cosmological parameters, in particular as we show here, the dark energy equation of state. This is achieved by using multiple images of sources at two or more distinct redshift planes. Utilizing many families of multiply imaged sources we obtain purely geometric constraints on dark energy that are largely independent of the properties ...
