The lensing signal around galaxy clusters can, in principle, be used to test detailed predictions for their average mass profile from numerical simulations. However, the intrinsic shape of the profiles can be smeared out when a sample that…

Masses of clusters of galaxies from weak gravitational lensing analyses of ever larger samples are increasingly used as the reference to which baryonic scaling relations are compared. In this paper we revisit the analysis of a sample of 50…

We study the radial total mass profiles of nine massive galaxy clusters ($M_\mathrm{200c}>5\times10^{14}$ M$_\odot$) in the redshift range $0.2 < z < 0.9$. These clusters were observed as part of the CLASH, HFF, BUFFALO, and CLASH-VLT…
