Weak Lensing Analysis of Cl 1358+62 Using Hubble Space Telescope Observations
Open accessAbstract
We report on the detection of weak gravitational lensing of faint, distant background objects by Cl 1358+62, a rich cluster of galaxies at a redshift of z = 0.33. The observations consist of a large, multicolor mosaic of Hubble Space T elescope WFPC2 images. The number density of approximately 50 background objects arcmin -2 allows us to do a detailed weak lensing analysis of this cluster. We detect a weak lensing signal out to~1.5 Mpc from the cluster center. The observed distortion is consistent with a singular isothermal sphere model with a velocity dispersion of 780 ± 50 km s -1 . The total projected mass within a radius of 1 Mpc corresponding to this model is (4.4 ± 0.6) × 10 14 M ☉ . The errors given here represent the random error due to the ellipticities of the background galaxies. The uncertainty in the redshift distribution introduces an additional systematic error of ~10% in the weak lensing mass. The weak lensing mass is slightly lower than dynamical estimates and agrees well with X-ray mass estimates. The mass distribution is elongated in a similar way as the light. The axis ratio of 0.30 ± 0.15 and position angle of -21° ± 7° were measured directly from the observations and agree very well with a previous strong lensing determination. A two-dimensional reconstruction of the cluster mass surface density shows that the peak of the mass distribution coincides with the peak of the light distribution. We find a value of (90 ± 13) h 50 M ☉ L for the mass-to-light ratio, consistent with being constant with radius. The point-spread function of HST is highly anisotropic at the edges of the individual chips. This systematically perturbs the shapes of objects, and we present a method for applying the appropriate correction.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
