The SOAR Gravitational Arc Survey - I: Survey overview and photometric catalogs

Cristina Furlanetto, Basilio X. Santiago, Martin Makler +10

We present the first results of the SOAR (Southern Astrophysical Research) Gravitational Arc Survey (SOGRAS). The survey imaged 47 clusters in two redshift intervals centered at $z…

Domain of validity for pseudo-elliptical NFW lens models

H. S. Dúmet-Montoya, G. B. Caminha, M. Makler

Models with elliptical potentials (pseudo-elliptical) are often used in gravitational lensing applications. Nevertheless, they generally lead to nonphysical mass distributions in s…
