Gravitational Lensing The lens equation Image Source Lens Observer
Weak-lensing A 1689 z = 0. 183 n Subaru n Suprime. Cam 34’x 27’ Strong-lensing HST ACS 3. 3’x 3. 3’ 30’ Chandra ACIS n Arcs
Weak Lensing Shear n Tangential shear – measured relative to cluster center
Color-magnitude Red n E/SO sequence galaxies Blue Cluster sequence
Color-magnitude n n E/SO sequence galaxies Three galaxy samples n n n Red background Blue - faint background Green – cluster +background Red Blue
Setting limits n Distortion reduces closer to the cluster sequence
n Distortion of bright cluster galaxies, i<21. 5 mag – zero signal g. T=0. 0043
Weak Lensing Distortion n n Background Distortion declines gradually with radius Green – distortion diluted by unlensed cluster members The “Dilution” effect
Weak Lensing Distortion n n ACS (r<2’) +Subaru Saw-tooth pattern of strong lensing Max – tangential critical curve, ~47’’ Min – radial critical curve, ~17’’
Fraction = Cluster Membership n n Dilution to measure cluster membership Correct for red/blue relative depths
Cluster Luminosity Profile n n n Cluster luminosity – “g-weighted” flux to get cluster flux Flux Luminosity Linear fit
Mass to Light Ratio n n High M/L ~ 480 Agrees with M/L inside 2’ from Broadhurst et al. 2005 a Mass estimates from lensing M/M* n Mass profile from Broadhurst et al. 2005 a, b M*/L vs. color from Bell et al. 2003
Cluster Luminosity Function n Flat, no upturn
Distortion profile fits n n NFW profile Best fit: High concentration
Summary n n n Have determined light profile, color profile and radial luminosity functions of A 1689 reliably, with no need to resolve the cluster sequence based on color. Constructed flat luminosity function, with no need for far-field counts for background subtraction Deduced high NFW concentration Future work: n n n Obtain photo-z’s using more colors for consistency checks. Extend to other clusters (CL 0024, A 370, A 1703…) using existing Subaru and ACS data. Constrain mass distribution by combining X-ray data and SZ effect.
