RELICS: A Strong Lens Model for SPT-CLJ0615-5746, a z=0.972 Cluster

Rachel Paterno-Mahler, Keren Sharon, Dan Coe +30

We present a lens model for the cluster SPT-CLJ06155746, which is the highest redshift () system in the Reionization of Lensing Clusters Survey (RELICS), making it the…

RELICS: Strong-lensing analysis of the massive clusters MACS J0308.9+2645 and PLCK G171.9-40.7

Ana Acebron, Nathália Cibirka, Adi Zitrin +37

Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has become a powerful tool for probing the high-redshift Universe, magnifying distant and faint background galaxies. Reliable strong…

RELICS: Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey

Dan Coe, Brett Salmon, Marusa Bradac +54

Large surveys of galaxy clusters with the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes, including CLASH and the Frontier Fields, have demonstrated the power of strong gravitational lensing…

RELICS: Strong Lens Models for Five Galaxy Clusters From the Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey

Catherine Cerny, Keren Sharon, Felipe Andrade-Santos +31

Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters magnifies background galaxies, enhancing our ability to discover statistically significant samples of galaxies at z>6, in order to c…

RELICS: High-Resolution Constraints on the Inner Mass Distribution of the z=0.83 Merging Cluster RXJ0152.7-1357 from strong lensing

Ana Acebron, May Alon, Adi Zitrin +37

Strong gravitational lensing (SL) is a powerful means to map the distribution of dark matter. In this work, we perform a SL analysis of the prominent X-ray cluster RXJ0152.7-1357 (…

RELICS: A Very Large () Cluster Lens -- RXC J0032.1+1808

Ana Acebron, Adi Zitrin, Dan Coe +38

Extensive surveys with the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} (HST) over the past decade, targeting some of the most massive clusters in the sky, have uncovered dozens of galaxy-clust…

RELICS: Strong Lensing analysis of the galaxy clusters Abell S295, Abell 697, MACS J0025.4-1222, and MACS J0159.8-0849

Nathália Cibirka, Ana Acebron, Adi Zitrin +37

We present a strong-lensing analysis of four massive galaxy clusters imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope in the Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey. We use a Light-Traces-Mass t…
