The Sextet Arcs: a Strongly Lensed Lyman Break Galaxy in the ACS Spectroscopic Galaxy Survey towards Abell 1689

B. L. Frye, D. Coe, D. V. Bowen +11

We present results of the HST Advanced Camera for Surveys spectroscopic ground-based redshift survey in the field of A1689. We measure 98 redshifts, increasing the number of spectr…

Strong Lensing Analysis of A1689 from Deep Advanced Camera Images

Tom Broadhurst, Narciso Benitez, Dan Coe +6

We analyse deep multi-colour Advanced Camera images of the largest known gravitational lens, A1689. Radial and tangential arcs delineate the critical curves in unprecedented detail…

Ultra Compact Dwarf galaxies in Abell 1689: a photometric study with the ACS

S. Mieske, L. Infante, N. Benitez +37

The properties of Ultra Compact Dwarf (UCD) galaxy candidates in Abell 1689 (z=0.183) are investigated, based on deep high resolution ACS images. A UCD candidate has to be unresolv…
