Abell 3266 is one of the X-ray brightest galaxy clusters in the sky and is a well-known merging system. Using the ability of the eROSITA telescope onboard SRG (Spectrum R\"ontgen Gamma) to observe a wide field with a single pointing, we…

[Abriged] We discuss here the properties of the double cluster Abell 1758, at a redshift z~0.279, which shows strong evidence for merging. We analyse the optical properties of the North and South clusters of Abell 1758 based on deep imaging…

Parametric strong lensing studies of galaxy clusters often display "misleading features". This is the case in the galaxy cluster Abell 370. Using strong lensing techniques, it has been described parametrically by a four dark matter clumps…

We analyze the mass content of the massive strong-lensing cluster Abell 586 ($z = 0.17$). We use optical data (imaging and spectroscopy) obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) mounted on the 8-m Gemini-North telescope,…

We present an analysis of the properties of the lensing cluster MS0440+0204 at z=0.1965. MS0440+0204 has been observed with a variety of telescopes at diverse wavelengths: from the ground with CFHT, MMT and KECK and from Earth orbit with…

Here we present the weak lensing results of A1758, which is known to consist of four subclusters undergoing two separate mergers, A1758N and A1758S. Weak lensing results of A1758N agree with previous weak lensing results of clusters…

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…

We present the first flexion-focused gravitational lensing analysis of the first of the strong-lensing "cosmic telescope" galaxy clusters, observed as part of the Hubble Frontier Fields initiative. Using HST observations of Abell 2744 (z =…

We use weak gravitational lensing to measure the masses of five galaxy clusters selected from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) survey, with the primary goal of comparing these with the SPT Sunyaev--Zel'dovich (SZ) and X-ray based mass…

After decades of searching, the true nature of dark matter still eludes us. One potential probe of the form of dark matter in galaxy clusters is to search for microlensing variability in the giant arcs and arclets. In this paper, a simple…

We present a new strong lensing (SL) model of the Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy cluster Abell 2744, at z=0.3072, by exploiting archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multi-band imaging and Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) follow-up…

This paper presents a multicolor study of the nearby cluster of galaxies Abell 168 (z=0.045) with 13 intermediate-band filters in the Beijing-Arizona-Taiwan-Connecticut (BATC) filter system. After a cross-identification between the…

We present a 368 ks deep Chandra observation of Abell~1240, a binary merging galaxy cluster at a redshift of 0.195 with two Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) may have passed each other 0.3 Gyr ago. Building upon previous investigations…

Archival XMM and ROSAT X-ray data are used to investigate the structure of the Abell 548 - Abell 3367 region. Based on previous optical studies, this is a region likely to be rich in structure though studies are in disagreement regarding…

The galaxy cluster Abell 2152 is recently found to be forming a cluster-cluster system with another, more distant cluster whose core is almost perfectly aligned to that of A2152. We discuss the detectability of microlensing events where a…

In this article, we apply strong lensing techniques in Abell 1703, a massive X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z=0.28. Our analysis is based on imaging data both from space and ground in 8 bands, complemented with a spectroscopic survey.…

We present the first robust virial masses of the Bullet Cluster's three individual components from a joint weak+strong lensing analysis combining JWST/NIRCam and DECam observations. Despite its status as the benchmark system for dark matter…

We use hydrodynamical/N-body simulations to interpret the newly discovered Bullet-cluster-like merging cluster, ZwCl 0008.8+5215 (ZwCl 0008 hereafter), where a dramatic collision is apparent from multi-wavelength observations. We have been…

We present a mass estimate of the Planck-discovered cluster PLCK G100.2-30.4, derived from a weak lensing analysis of deep SUBARU griz images. We perform a careful selection of the background galaxies using the multi-band imaging data, and…

We present an improved determination of the total mass distribution of three CLASH/HFF massive clusters, MACS J1206.2-0847 (z=0.44), MACS J0416.1-2403 (z=0.40), Abell S1063 (z=0.35). We specifically reconstruct the sub-halo mass component…
