چکیده

We present a novel method to reconstruct the mass distribution of galaxy clusters from their gravitational lens effect on background galaxies. The method is based on a least-x 2 fit of the two-dimensional gravitational cluster potential. The method combines information from shear and magnification by the cluster lens and is designed to easily incorporate possible additional information. We describe the technique and demonstrate its feasibility with simulated data. Both the cluster morphology and the total cluster mass are well reproduced. Subject headings: galaxies: clusters: general — gravitational lensing — methods: numerical

A simultaneous maximum likelihood approach for galaxy-galaxy lensing and cluster lens reconstruction

In a previous paper we investigated means for constraining the mass distribution of cluster galaxies by weak lensing. We concluded that a comprehensive method should treat the lensing effects of individual cluster galaxies and those resulting from a general cluster component simultaneously. To this end we now develop a non-parametric maximum likelihood cluster reconstruction algorithm that can ...

Entropy-regularized maximum-likelihood cluster mass reconstruction

We present a new method for reconstructing twodimensional mass maps of galaxy clusters from the image distortion of background galaxies. In contrast to most previous approaches, which directly convert locally averaged image ellipticities to mass maps (direct methods), our entropy-regularized maximum-likelihood method is an inverse approach. Albeit somewhat more expensive computationally, our me...

Maximum likelihood estimation of phylogenetic tree and substitution rates via generalized neighbor-joining and the EM algorithm

A central task in the study of molecular sequence data from present-day species is the reconstruction of the ancestral relationships. The most established approach to tree reconstruction is the maximum likelihood (ML) method. In this method, evolution is described in terms of a discrete-state continuous-time Markov process on a phylogenetic tree. The substitution rate matrix, that determines th...
