Weak lensing observations of the ``dark'' cluster MG 2016+112.

CLOWE D., TRENTHAM N. and TONRY J.

Abstract (from CDS):

We investigate the possible existence of a high-redshift (z=1) cluster of galaxies associated with the QSO lens system MG 2016+112. From an ultra-deep R- and less deep V- and I-band Keck images and a K-band mosaic from UKIRT, we detect ten galaxies with colors consistent with the lensing galaxy within 225h–1kpc of the z=1.01 lensing galaxy. This represents an overdensity of more than ten times the number density of galaxies with similar colors in the rest of the image. We also find a group of seven much fainter objects closely packed in a group only 27h–1kpc north-west of the lensing galaxy. We perform a weak lensing analysis on faint galaxies in the R-band image and detect a mass peak of a size similar to the mass inferred from X-ray observations of the field, but located 64" northwest of the lensing galaxy. From the weak lensing data we rule out a similar sized mass peak centered on the lensing galaxy at the 2σ level.
