The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
A Very Large (") Strong Gravitational Lens Selected with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect: PLCK G287.0+32.9 ( = 0.38)
Adi Zitrin, Stella Seitz, Anna Monna +7
Since galaxy clusters sit at the high-end of the mass function, the number of galaxy clusters both massive and concentrated enough to yield particularly large Einstein radii poses…
MICADO: first light imager for the E-ELT
R. Davies, J. Schubert, M. Hartl +80
MICADO will equip the E-ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The instrument's observing modes focus on various flavours o…
Precise strong lensing mass profile of the CLASH galaxy cluster MACS 2129
A. Monna, S. Seitz, I. Balestra +12
We present a detailed strong lensing (SL) mass reconstruction of the core of the galaxy cluster MACSJ 2129.4-0741 () obtained by combining high-resolution HST pho…
Separating Galaxies from the Cluster Dark Matter Halo in Abell 611
A. Monna, S. Seitz, M. J. Geller +7
We investigate the mass content of galaxies in the core of the galaxy cluster Abell 611. We perform a strong lensing analysis of the cluster core and use velocity dispersion measur…
CLASH-VLT: A Highly Precise Strong Lensing Model of the Galaxy Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (Abell S1063) and Prospects for Cosmography
G. B. Caminha, C. Grillo, P. Rosati +32
We perform a comprehensive study of the total mass distribution of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2248 () with a set of high-precision strong lensing models, which take advantage…
CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with Spectra of Member Galaxies
I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, B. Sartoris +33
We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the large spectroscopic campaign provided more…
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…
Constraining the galaxy mass content in the core of A383 using velocity dispersion measurements for individual cluster members
A. Monna, S. Seitz, A. Zitrin +14
We use velocity dispersion measurements of 21 individual cluster members in the core of Abell 383, obtained with MMT Hectospec, to separate the galaxy and the smooth dark halo (DH)…
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…
CLASH: The Concentration-Mass Relation of Galaxy Clusters
J. Merten, M. Meneghetti, M. Postman +38
We present a new determination of the concentration-mass relation for galaxy clusters based on our comprehensive lensing analysis of 19 X-ray selected galaxy clusters from the Clus…
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…
