•~zero for green – diluted by unlensed cluster members
• Cluster membership – almost ~100% for entire radius range,
→green sample is comprised mostly of cluster.

Dilution in other workDilution in other work
• Oguri et al. 2009
• Diluted by a factor of ~2 in the center
• Leads to underestimated Einstein radius
• Leads to underestimated Cvir

• gT-profiles agree
• NFW fits give high concentrations (Cvir=rvir/rs)
than expected by ΛCDM N-body simulations
• Use magnification to check consistency of gT results

Luminosity & M/L profilesLuminosity & M/L profiles
• Cluster luminosity – “g-weighted” flux to get cluster flux
• Flux Luminosity• Linear fit• M/L goes down in the
outskirts – morphology-density related effect (Dressler 1980)

Weak lensing samplesWeak lensing samples• Select background galaxy samples –”red”,
“blue”, “green” and “dropouts” and measure their lensing profile

SummarySummary• Developed new scheme to resolve cluster/foreground/background selected in color-color space and better
determine weak lensing profiles.
• Determined light profiles & radial luminosity functions of A1689, A1703, A370, RXJ1347 reliably, with no need to resolve the cluster sequence based on color.
• Found flat luminosity function, with no need for far-field counts for background subtraction.
• Constructed M/L profiles to the virial radius, showing physical behavior of DM to light distributions, dropping to the center of cluster, and also dropping to the outskirts.
• Deduced high NFW concentrations, contradicting ΛCDM simulation expectation values.
• Use weak lensing distortions to constrain the lensing distance – redshift relation.
Future work:
• Obtain photo-z’s using more colors for consistency checks.
• Extend to other clusters (CL0024 submitted Umetsu et al. 2009, MACS sample) using existing Subaru.
• Combine w/ strong-lensing from HST/ACS (Zitrin et al. 2009) – Hubble MCT proposal accepted!! – 25 clusters with 525 orbits.
• Constrain mass distribution by combining X-ray and SZ from Chandra and Amiba (Amiba paper - Umetsu et al. 2009).
