Detailed Mass Map of CL 0024+1654 from Strong Lensing
We construct a high-resolution mass map of the z=0.39 cluster 0024+1654, based on a parametric inversion of the associated gravitational lens. The lens creates eight well-resolved subimages of a background galaxy, seen in deep imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope. Excluding mass concentrations centered on visible galaxies, more than 98% …
