The BUFFALO Survey : The Subhalo Mass Function for Abell 2744 with Strong+Weak Gravitational Lensing

Nency R. Patel, Mathilde Jauzac, Anna Niemiec +16

We present a combined strong and weak gravitational lensing mass model of the massive merging galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308). The mass reconstruction combines strong-lensing…

Testing Offsets Between Cluster-Scale Halos and BCGs in Strong Lensing Models Using the Jackknife Method

Sangjun Cha, Marceau Limousin, M. James Jee

Offsets between cluster-scale dark matter halos and brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) inferred from strong lensing (SL) models have been used to investigate cluster dynamics and da…

SLICE: Unveiling the Multi-Component Merging Core of SPT-CLJ1150-2805 Through Strong-Lensing Mass Modelling

James R. Betts, Benjamin Beauchesne, Mathilde Jauzac +16

We present a new strong-lensing and X-ray mass model of the merging galaxy cluster SPT-CLJ1150-2805 (), combining JWST NIRCam, HST, Chandra, and VLT/MUSE data to robustly…

Shape Degeneracies: the likely culprit for the differences between lens mass models of galaxy clusters

Liliya L. R. Williams, Derek C. Perera, Jori Liesenborgs +3

Sky-projected mass distributions of galaxy clusters are widely used to constrain particle properties of dark matter, to magnify in flux and angular extent high redshift background…

Resolving 3 Exotic Hyperbolic-Umbilic Lensing Configurations in the "Cosmic Mantis": An Exploration of RXJ0437.1+0043 with JWST

Catherine Cerny, David J. Lagattuta, Keren Sharon +12

We present an updated strong lensing model for the galaxy cluster RXJ0437.1+0043 (z=0.285) using new JWST NIRCam imaging in four pass-bands. The cluster field notably displays at l…

Non-spherical BUFFALOs: a weak lensing view of the Frontier Field clusters and associated systematics

A. Niemiec, A. Acebron, B. Beauchesne +15

Galaxy clusters are tracers of the large scale structures of the Universe, making the time evolution of their mass function dependent on key cosmological parameters, such as the co…
