Summary n n n Have determined light profile, color profile and radial luminosity functions

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.

Next Cluster – A 1703
