16 Apr 2012 | | Abstract: | We derive an accurate mass distribution of the galaxy cluster MACS
J1206.2-0847 (z=0.439) from a combined weak-lensing distortion, magnification,
and strong-lensing analysis of wide-field Subaru BVRIz’ imaging and our recent
16-band Hubble Space Telescope observations taken as part of the Cluster
Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) program. We find good
agreement in the regions of overlap between several weak and strong lensing
mass reconstructions using a wide variety of modeling methods, ensuring
consistency. The Subaru data reveal the presence of a surrounding large scale
structure with the major axis running approximately north-west south-east
(NW-SE), aligned with the cluster and its brightest galaxy shapes, showing
elongation with a sim 2:1 axis ratio in the plane of the sky. Our full-lensing
mass profile exhibits a shallow profile slope dlnSigma/dlnRsim -1 at cluster
outskirts (R>1Mpc/h), whereas the mass distribution excluding the NW-SE excess
regions steepens further out, well described by the Navarro-Frenk-White form.
Assuming a spherical halo, we obtain a virial mass M_{vir}=(1.1pm 0.2pm
0.1) imes 10^{15} M_{sun}/h and a halo concentration c_{vir} = 6.9pm 1.0pm
1.2 (sim 5.7 when the central 50kpc/h is excluded), which falls in the range
4< <c> <7 of average c(M,z) predictions for relaxed clusters from recent Lambda
cold dark matter simulations. Our full lensing results are found to be in
agreement with X-ray mass measurements where the data overlap, and when
combined with Chandra gas mass measurements, yield a cumulative gas mass
fraction of 13.7^{+4.5}_{-3.0}% at 0.7Mpc/h (approx 1.7r_{2500}), a typical
value observed for high mass clusters. | | Source: | arXiv, 1204.3630 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
