CLASH-VLT: Substructure in the galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 from kinematics of galaxy populations

M. Girardi, A. Mercurio, I. Balestra +35

In the effort to understand the link between the structure of galaxy clusters and their galaxy populations, we focus on MACSJ1206.2-0847 at z~0.44 and probe its substructure in the…

Hubble Space Telescope Combined Strong and Weak Lensing Analysis of the CLASH Sample: Mass and Magnification Models and Systematic Uncertainties

Adi Zitrin, Agnese Fabris, Julian Merten +23

We present results from a comprehensive lensing analysis in HST data, of the complete CLASH cluster sample. We identify new multiple-images previously undiscovered allowing improve…

The MUSIC of CLASH: predictions on the concentration-mass relation

M. Meneghetti, E. Rasia, J. Vega +42

We present the results of a numerical study based on the analysis of the MUSIC-2 simulations, aimed at estimating the expected concentration-mass relation for the CLASH cluster sam…

Intra Cluster Light properties in the CLASH-VLT cluster MACS J1206.2-0847

V. Presotto, M. Girardi, M. Nonino +46

We aim at constraining the assembly history of clusters by studying the intra cluster light (ICL) properties, estimating its contribution to the fraction of baryons in stars, f*, a…

CLASH: Extending galaxy strong lensing to small physical scales with distant sources highly-magnified by galaxy cluster members

C. Grillo, R. Gobat, V. Presotto +35

We present a strong lensing system in which a double source is imaged 5 times by 2 early-type galaxies. We take advantage in this target of the multi-band photometry obtained as pa…

Apparent high metallicity in 3-4 keV galaxy clusters: the inverse iron-bias in action in the case of the merging cluster Abell 2028

F. Gastaldello, S. Ettori, I. Balestra +6

Recent work based on a global measurement of the ICM properties find evidence for an increase of the iron abundance in galaxy clusters with temperature around 2-4 keV up to a value…
