CLUSTER MASS PROFILES FROM A BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF WEAK-LENSING DISTORTION AND MAGNIFICATION MEASUREMENTS: APPLICATIONS TO SUBARU DATA

CLUSTER MASS PROFILES FROM A BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF WEAK-LENSING DISTORTION AND MAGNIFICATION MEASUREMENTS: APPLICATIONS TO SUBARU DATA

We directly construct model-independent mass profiles of galaxy clusters from combined weak-lensing distortion and magnification measurements within a Bayesian statistical framework,which allows for a full parameter-space extraction of the underlying signal. This method applies to the full range of radius outside the Einstein radius, and recovers the absolute mass normalization. …
