RELICS: Strong Lensing Analysis of MACS J0417.5-1154 and Predictions for Observing the Magnified High-Redshift Universe with JWST

Guillaume Mahler, Keren Sharon, Carter Fox +37

Strong gravitational lensing by clusters of galaxies probes the mass distribution at the core of each cluster and magnifies the universe behind it. MACS J0417.5-1154 at z=0.443 is…

RELICS: High-Resolution Constraints on the Inner Mass Distribution of the z=0.83 Merging Cluster RXJ0152.7-1357 from strong lensing

Ana Acebron, May Alon, Adi Zitrin +37

Strong gravitational lensing (SL) is a powerful means to map the distribution of dark matter. In this work, we perform a SL analysis of the prominent X-ray cluster RXJ0152.7-1357 (…

RELICS: Strong-lensing analysis of the massive clusters MACS J0308.9+2645 and PLCK G171.9-40.7

Ana Acebron, Nathália Cibirka, Adi Zitrin +37

Strong gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters has become a powerful tool for probing the high-redshift Universe, magnifying distant and faint background galaxies. Reliable strong…

RELICS: A Strong Lens Model for SPT-CLJ0615-5746, a z=0.972 Cluster

Rachel Paterno-Mahler, Keren Sharon, Dan Coe +30

We present a lens model for the cluster SPT-CLJ06155746, which is the highest redshift () system in the Reionization of Lensing Clusters Survey (RELICS), making it the…

Unveiling the dynamical state of massive clusters through the ICL fraction

Y. Jiménez-Teja, R. Dupke, N. Benítez +34

We have selected a sample of eleven massive clusters of galaxies observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in order to study the impact of the dynamical state on the IntraCluster Ligh…

RELICS: Strong Lensing analysis of the galaxy clusters Abell S295, Abell 697, MACS J0025.4-1222, and MACS J0159.8-0849

Nathália Cibirka, Ana Acebron, Adi Zitrin +37

We present a strong-lensing analysis of four massive galaxy clusters imaged with the Hubble Space Telescope in the Reionization Lensing Cluster Survey. We use a Light-Traces-Mass t…

A Candidate Galaxy Strongly Lensed into a Spatially Resolved Arc

Brett Salmon, Dan Coe, Larry Bradley +27

The most distant galaxies known are at z~10-11, observed 400-500 Myr after the Big Bang. The few z~10-11 candidates discovered to date have been exceptionally small- barely resolve…
