Radial alignment of elliptical galaxies by the tidal force of a cluster of galaxies

Yu Rong, Shu-Xu Yi, Shuang-Nan Zhang +1

Unlike the random radial orientation distribution of field elliptical galaxies, galaxies in a cluster are expected to point preferentially towards the center of the cluster, as a r…

A search for edge-on galaxy lenses in the CFHT Legacy Survey

Jean-Francois Sygnet, Hong Tu, Bernard Fort +1

[ABRIDGED] The new generation of wide field optical imaging like the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) enables discoveries of all types of gravitational lenses…

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…

Strong Lensing in Abell 1703: Constraints on the Slope of the Inner Dark Matter Distribution

M. Limousin, J. Richard, J. -P. Kneib +9

In this article, we apply strong lensing techniques in Abell 1703, a massive X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z=0.28. Our analysis is based on imaging data both from space and grou…
