Weak Gravitational Lensing by the Nearby Cluster Abell 3667

Abstract

We present two weak lensing reconstructions of the nearby ($z_{cl}=0.055$) merging cluster Abell 3667, based on observations taken $\sim 1$ year apart under different seeing conditions. This is the lowest redshift cluster with a weak lensing mass reconstruction to date. The reproducibility of features in the two mass maps demonstrate that weak lensing studies of low-redshift clusters are feasible. These data constitute the first results from an X-ray luminosity-selected weak lensing survey of 19 low-redshift ($z<0.1$) southern clusters.
