Weak Lensing Mass Reconstruction of the Galaxy Cluster Abell 209 ⋆
Context. Weak lensing applied to deep optical images of clusters of galaxies provides a powerful tool to reconstruct the distribution of the gravitating mass associated to these structures. Aims. We use the shear signal extracted by an analysis of deep exposures of a region centered around the galaxy cluster ABCG209, at redshift z ∼ 0.2, to derive both a map of the projected mass distribution a...
متن کاملWeak lensing calibration of mass bias in the REFLEX+BCS X-ray galaxy cluster catalogue
The use of large, X-ray selected galaxy cluster catalogues for cosmological analyses requires a thorough understanding of the X-ray mass estimates.Weak gravitational lensing is an ideal method to shed light on such issues, due to its insensitivity to the cluster dynamical state. We perform a weak lensing calibration of 166 galaxy clusters from the REFLEX and BCS cluster catalogue and compare ou...
متن کاملCluster Mass Prooles from Weak Lensing: Shear vs. Magniication Information
A massive foreground cluster lens changes the shapes (shear eeect) and number density (magniication eeect) of the faint background galaxy population. In this paper we investigate how the shear, magniication and combined information can be used to constrain cluster mass prooles in the weak lensing regime. We develop maximum likelihood techniques to make quantitative predictions for each of the m...
متن کاملCluster Mass Profiles from Weak Lensing II
When a cluster gravitationally lenses faint background galaxies, its tidal gravitational field distorts their shapes (shear effect) and its magnification effect changes the observed number density. In Schneider, King & Erben (2000) we developed likelihood techniques to compare the constraints on cluster mass profiles that can be obtained using the shear and magnification information. This work ...
متن کاملCluster mass reconstruction from weak gravitational lensing
Kaiser & Squires have proposed a technique for mapping the dark matter in galaxy clusters using the coherent weak distortion of background galaxy images caused by gravitational lensing. We investigate the effectiveness of this technique under controlled conditions by creating simulated CCD frames containing galaxies lensed by a model cluster, measuring the resulting galaxy shapes, and comparing...
