The mass distribution of RX J1347-1145 from strong lensing

A. Halkola, H. Hildebrandt, T. Schrabback +5

High resolution HST/ACS images of the galaxy cluster RX J1347-1145 have enabled us to identify several new multiple image candidates in the cluster, including a 5 image system with…

BLOX: The Bonn Lensing, Optical, and X-ray selected galaxy clusters -- I. Cluster catalog construction

J. P. Dietrich, T. Erben, G. Lamer +4

The mass function of galaxy clusters is an important cosmological probe. Differences in the selection method could potentially lead to biases when determining the mass function. Fr…

Searching for galaxy clusters using the aperture mass statistics in 50 VLT fields

M. Hetterscheidt, T. Erben, P. Schneider +3

Application of the aperture mass (Map-) statistics provides a weak lensing method for the detection of cluster-sized dark matter halos. We present a new aperture filter function an…

Cosmic Shear from STIS pure parallels: III. Analysis of Cycle 9 pure parallels

J. -M. Miralles, T. Erben, H. Haemmerle +4

Following the detection of a cosmic shear signal at the 30'' scale using archival parallel data from the STIS CCD camera onboard HST in Haemmerle et al. (2002), we analyzed a large…

A weak lensing analysis of a STIS dark-lens candidate

T. Erben, J. M. Miralles, D. Clowe +6

We perform a weak lensing analysis on a previously reported dark-lens candidate on STIS Parallel data (Miralles et al. 2002). New VLT-data indicate that the reported signal origina…

Galaxy-galaxy lensing results from COMBO-17

Martina Kleinheinrich, Peter Schneider, Thomas Erben +4

We use galaxy-galaxy lensing to study the statistical properties of the dark matter halos of galaxies. Our data is taken from the COMBO-17 survey which has imaged 1 square degree i…
