“Wide-field weak lensing
by RXJ1347-1145”, I analyzed the cluster RXJ1347-1145 for weak lensing
shear.
We found that the tangential shear fits both a SIS (solid) and NFW (dashed) profile. The best fit parameters indicated a cluster mass on the order of 1.5 x 1015 solar masses. The image was taken in Chile at CTIO using the Blanco 4-m telescope. The bottom right panel shows a high mass density (color contrast) at the location of the cluster. The two circles indicate the region where weak lensing signals were examined. |
