Lensing from the Light-Traces-Mass Map of MS1224+20
Abstract
The MS1224+20 cluster of galaxies is a high luminosity X-ray source at z=0.325. To compare the lensing mass to the virial mass we have completed a uniform, high precision redshift survey over a field of , obtaining 75 redshifts. The velocity dispersion of 30 cluster galaxies is \kms\ and the projected harmonic radius is 0.32 \hmpc. The virial mass is . Correcting for faint cluster galaxies without redshifts and allowing for a modest evolution in the galaxy luminosity function gives a current epoch mass-to-light ratio . The same field contains a cluster with \kms, and a group at with \kms. The clusters' gravitational field induces image ellipticities that are calculated from the light-traces-mass density distribution and compared to the observed average tangential distortions from Fahlman \et (1994). Between 1.5 and 3 virial radii, the observed lensing distortions are times stronger than the light-traces-mass model and the virial M/L predict.
