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…
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…
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…
CLASH-VLT: spectroscopic confirmation of a z=6.11 quintuply lensed galaxy in the Frontier Fields Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431
I. Balestra, E. Vanzella, P. Rosati +41
We present VIsible Multi-Object Spectrograph (VIMOS) observations of a z 6 galaxy quintuply imaged by the Frontier Fields galaxy cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (z=0.348). This sub-L^*, h…
CLASH: z ~ 6 young galaxy candidate quintuply lensed by the frontier field cluster RXC J2248.7-4431
A. Monna, S. Seitz, N. Greisel +37
We present a quintuply lensed z ~ 6 candidate discovered in the field of the galaxy cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (z ~ 0.348) targeted within the Cluster Lensing and Supernova survey wi…
CLASH: A Census of Magnified Star-Forming Galaxies at z ~ 6-8
L. D. Bradley, A. Zitrin, D. Coe +34
We utilize 16 band Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of 18 lensing clusters obtained as part of the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) Multi-Cycle Tre…
Galaxy halo truncation and Giant Arc Surface Brightness Reconstruction in the Cluster MACSJ1206.2-0847
Thomas Eichner, Stella Seitz, Sherry H. Suyu +32
In this work we analyze the mass distribution of MACSJ1206.2-0847, especially focusing on the halo properties of its cluster members. The cluster appears relaxed in its X-ray emiss…
CLASH: Three Strongly Lensed Images of a Candidate z ~ 11 Galaxy
Dan Coe, Adi Zitrin, Mauricio Carrasco +20
We present a candidate for the most distant galaxy known to date with a photometric redshift z = 10.7 +0.6 / -0.4 (95% confidence limits; with z < 9.5 galaxies of known types ruled…
