Abell 611. II. X-ray and strong lensing analyses

A. Donnarumma, S. Ettori, M. Meneghetti +10

We present the results of our analyses of the X-ray emission and of the strong lensing systems in the relaxed galaxy cluster Abell 611 (z=0.288). We infer the X-ray mass estimate d…

The mass profile of early-type galaxies in overdense environments: the case of the double source plane gravitational lens SL2SJ02176-0513

H. TU, R. Gavazzi, M. Limousin +8

SL2SJ02176-0513 is a remarkable lens for the presence of two multiply-imaged systems at different redshifts lensed by a foreground massive galaxy at : a bright…

A New Window of Exploration in the Mass Spectrum: Strong Lensing by Galaxy Groups in the SL2S

M. Limousin, R. Cabanac, R. Gavazzi +21

The existence of strong lensing systems with Einstein radii (Re) covering the full mass spectrum, from ~1-2" (produced by galaxy scale dark matter haloes) to >10" (produced by gala…

Probing the Slope of Cluster Mass Profile with Gravitational Einstein Rings: Application to Abell 1689

H. Tu, M. Limousin, B. Fort +5

The strong lensing modelling of gravitational ``rings'' formed around massive galaxies is sensitive to the amplitude of the external shear and convergence produced by nearby mass c…

VLT Spectroscopy of Galaxies Lensed by Abell AC114: Implication for the Mass Model and the Study of Low-Luminosity Galaxies at High-Redshift

L. E. Campusano, R. Pello, J. -P. Kneib +5

We present the first results of a spectroscopic survey of faint lensed galaxie s in the core of the galaxy cluster AC114 (z=0.312) obtained from observations w ith the FORS1 spectr…

Cosmic shear surveys

Y. Mellier, L. van Waerbeke, R. Maoli +6

Gravitational weak shear produced by large-scale structures of the universe induces a correlated ellipticity distribution of distant galaxies. The amplitude and evolution with angu…
