AbstractWe present a multiwavelength analysis of a sample of four hot (T_X>8keV) X-ray galaxy clusters (A1689, A2261, A2142, and A2390) using joint AMiBA Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE) and Subaru weak lensing observations, combined with published X-ray temperatures, to examine the distribution of mass and the intracluster medium (ICM) in massive cluster environments. Our observations establish that A2261 is very similar to A1689 in terms of both weak and strong lensing properties. Many tangential arcs are visible around A2261, with an effective Einstein radius sim 40 arcsec (at z sim 1.5), which when combined with our weak lensing measurements implies a mass profile well fitted by an NFW model with a high concentration c_{vir} sim 10, similar to A1689 and to other massive clusters. The cluster A2142 shows complex mass substructure, and displays a shallower profile (c_{vir} sim 5), being well traced by the SZE in the AMiBA map, and consistent with detailed X-ray observations which imply recent interaction. For A2390 we obtain highly elliptical mass and ICM distributions at all radii, consistent with other X-ray and strong lensing work. Our cluster gas fraction measurements, free from the hydrostatic equilibrium assumption, are overall in good agreement with published X-ray and SZE observations, with the sample-averaged gas fraction of <f_{gas}(<r_{200})> = 0.133 pm 0.027 for our sample with <M_{vir}>=(1.2pm 0.1) imes 10^{15} M_{sun}/h. When compared to the cosmic baryon fraction f_b = Omega_b/Omega_m constrained by the WMAP 5-year data, this indicates <f_{gas}(<r_{200})>/f_b = 0.78 pm 0.16, i.e., (22 pm 16)% of the baryons are missing from the hot phase of clusters.
