Weak-Lensing Analysis of the Complex Cluster Merger Abell 746 with Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam

Abstract

The galaxy cluster Abell 746 (A746; $z$=0.214), featuring a double radio relic system, two isolated radio relics, a possible radio halo, disturbed V-shaped X-ray emission, and intricate galaxy distributions, is a unique and complex merging system. We present a weak-lensing analysis of A746 based on wide-field imaging data from Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam observations. The mass distribution is characterized by a main peak which coincides with the center of the X-ray emission. At this main peak, we detect two extensions toward the north and west, tracing the cluster galaxy and X-ray distributions. Despite the ongoing merger, our estimate of the A746 global mass $M_{500}=4.4\pm 1.0\times 10^{14}{M}_{\odot }$ is consistent with the previous results from SZ and X-ray observations. We conclude that reconciling the distributions of mass, galaxies, and intracluster medium with the double radio relic system and other radio features remains challenging.
