Full Lensing Analysis of Abell 1703: Comparison of Independent Lens-Modelling Techniques

The inner mass-profile of the relaxed cluster Abell 1703 is analysed by two very different strong-lensing techniques applied to deep ACS and WFC3 imaging. Our parametric method has the accuracy required to reproduce the many sets of multiple images, based on the assumption that mass approximately traces light. We test this assumption with a fully non-parametric, adaptive grid method, with no knowledge of the galaxy distribution. Differences between the methods are seen on fine scales due to member galaxies which must be included in models designed to search for lensed images, but on the larger scale the general distribution of dark matter is in good agreement, with very similar radial mass profiles. We add undiluted weak-lensing measurements from deep multi-colour Subaru imaging to obtain a fully model-independent mass profile out to the virial radius and beyond. Consistency is found in the region of overlap between the weak and strong lensing, and the full mass profile is well-described by an NFW model of a concentration parameter, $c_{\rm vir}\simeq 7.15\pm0.5$ (and $M_{vir}\simeq 1.22\pm0.15 \times 10^{15}M_{\odot}/h$). Abell 1703 lies above the standard $c$--$M$ relation predicted for the standard $\Lambda$CDM model, similar to other massive relaxed clusters with accurately determined lensing-based profiles.Comment: 12 pages, 17 figures, 1 table, accepted for publication in MNRAS.

BUFFALO/Flashlights: Constraints on the abundance of lensed supergiant stars in the Spock galaxy at redshift 1

In this work, we present a constraint on the abundance of supergiant (SG) stars at redshift z ≈ 1, based on recent observations of astrongly lensed arc at this redshift. First we derived a free-form model of MACS J0416.1-2403 using data from the Beyond Ultradeep Frontier Fields and Legacy Observations (BUFFALO) program. The new lens model is based on 72 multiply lensed galaxies thatproduce 214 multiple images, making it the largest sample of spectroscopically confirmed lensed galaxies on this cluster. The largercoverage in BUFFALO allowed us to measure the shear up to the outskirts of the cluster, and extend the range of lensing constraintsup to ∼1 Mpc from the central region, providing a mass estimate up to this radius. As an application, we make predictions for thenumber of high-redshift multiply lensed galaxies detected in future observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).Then we focus on a previously known lensed galaxy at z = 1.0054, nicknamed Spock, which contains four previously reportedtransients. We interpret these transients as microcaustic crossings of SG stars and explain how we computed the probability of suchevents. Based on simplifications regarding the stellar evolution, we find that microlensing (by stars in the intracluster medium) ofSG stars at z = 1.0054 can fully explain these events. The inferred abundance of SG stars is consistent with either (1) a numberdensity of stars with bolometric luminosities beyond the Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit (Lmax ≈ 6 × 105 L for red stars), whichis below ∼400 stars kpc−2, or (2) the absence of stars beyond the HD limit but with a SG number density of ∼9000 kpc−2 for starswith luminosities between 105 L and 6 × 105 L. This is equivalent to one SG star per 10 × 10 pc2. Finally, we make predictions forfuture observations with JWST’s NIRcam. We find that in observations made with the F200W filter that reach 29 mag AB, if cool red SG stars exist at z ≈ 1 beyond the HD limit, they should be easily detected in this arc

The inferred abundance of SG stars is consistent with either (1) a number density of stars with bolometric luminosities beyond the Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit (L ~ $6\times10^5 L_{\odot}$) that is below 400 stars per sq. kpc, or (2) the absence of stars beyond the HD limit but with a SG number density of ~ 9000 per sq. kpc for stars with luminosities between $10^5$ and $6\times10^5$. This is equivalent to one SG star per 10x10 pc$^2$. We finally make predictions for future observations with JWST's NIRcam. We find that in observations made with the F200W filter that reach 29 mag AB, if cool red SG stars exist at z~1 beyond the HD limit, they should be easily detected in this arcComment: 24 pages & 18 figure
