Dark Matter Distribution of Four Low-z Clusters of Galaxies
arXiv:1812.08356 · doi:10.3847/1538-4357/ab7c58
Abstract
We present here the weak gravitational lensing detection of four nearby galaxy clusters in the southern sky: Abell 2029, Abell 85, Abell 1606 and Abell 2457. The weak lensing detections of Abell 1606 and Abell 2457 are the first in the literature. This work capitalizes on the wide field of view of the Dark Energy Camera at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory, which we use to obtain deep, multi-wavelength imaging of all targets. We publish maps of the clusters' projected mass distributions, and obtain the of their clusters through NFW profile fits to the two-dimensional tangential ellipticity signal.
