HST and HSC Weak-lensing Study of the Equal-mass Dissociative Merger CIZA J0107.7+5408

Abstract

A dissociative merger is formed by the interplay of ram pressure and gravitational forces, which can lead to a spatial displacement of the dark matter and baryonic components of the recently collided subclusters. CIZA J0107.7+5408 is a nearby (z=0.105) dissociative merger that hosts two X-ray brightness peaks and a bimodal galaxy distribution. Analyzing MMT/Hectospec observations, we investigate the line-of-sight and spatial distribution of cluster galaxies. Utilizing deep, high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys imaging and large field-of-view Subaru Hyper-Suprime-Cam observations, we perform a weak-lensing analysis of CIZA J0107.7+5408. Our weak-lensing analysis detects a bimodal mass distribution that is spatially consistent with the cluster galaxies but significantly offset from the X-ray brightness peaks. Fitting two NFW halos to the lensing signal, we find an equal-mass merger with subcluster masses of $M_{200,NE}=2.8_{-1.1}^{+1.1}\times 10^{14}$ M${}_{\odot }$ and $M_{200,SW}=3.1_{-1.2}^{+1.2}\times 10^{14}$ M${}_{\odot }$. Moreover, the mass-to-light ratios of the subclusters, $(M/L{)}_{NE}=571_{-91}^{+89}$ $M_{\odot }/L_{\odot ,B}$ and $(M/L{)}_{SW}=564_{-89}^{+87}$ $M_{\odot }/L_{\odot ,B}$, are found to be consistent with each other and within the range of mass-to-light ratios found for galaxy clusters.
