摘要:

我们提出了第一个强透镜研究的质量分布在集群MS 2053-04的基础上HST档案数据。这个巨大的X射线发光星团的红移z=0.583,它由两个相互引力束缚的结构组成。星团有一个由双引力弧构成的多重成像系统。我们已经进行了一个参数强透镜质量重建使用NFW密度分布模型的集群潜力。我们还包括来自23个星系的扰动,这些星系的模型类似于椭圆奇异等温球,大约在星系团中心周围的1 'x1'范围内。这些星系的几何和动力学参数都受到观测数据的约束。我们的分析预测了第三个图像,这是略有缩小。我们在预期位置附近发现了这个反像的候选者,并且与星团中的引力弧具有相同的F702 W-F814 W颜色。从强透镜模型的结果表明,在这个集群的复杂结构,不对称性和伸长的质量分布,并与以前的分光光度的结果,表明该集群具有双峰质量分布是一致的。最后,推导出的质量分布用于估计弧内的质量,并与X射线估计值进行比较。

英文摘要:

We present the first strong lensing study of the mass distribution in the cluster MS 2053-04 based on HST archive data. This massive, X-ray luminous cluster has a redshift z=0.583, and it is composed of two structures that are gravitationally bound to each other. The cluster has one multiply imaged system constituted by a double gravitational arc. We have performed a parametric strong lensing mass reconstruction using NFW density profiles to model the cluster potential. We also included perturbations from 23 galaxies, modeled like elliptical singular isothermal sphere, that are approximately within 1'x1' around the cluster center. These galaxies were constrained in both the geometric and dynamical parameters with observational data. Our analysis predicts a third image which is slightly demagnified. We found a candidate for this counter-image near the expected position and with the same F702W-F814W colors as the gravitational arcs in the cluster. The results from the strong lensing model shows the complex structure in this cluster, the asymmetry and the elongation in the mass distribution, and are consistent with previous spectrophotometric results that indicate that the cluster has a bimodal mass distribution. Finally, the derived mass profile was used to estimate the mass within the arcs and for comparison with X-ray estimates.
