摘要
Aims. The aim of the present work is to study the overall mass distribution of the galaxy clusters Abell 1351 and Abell 1995 using weak gravitational lensing. These clusters have a very different mass structure and dynamical state and are the two extremes from a larger sample of 38 X-ray luminous clusters of similar size and redshift. Methods. We measure the shear values of faint background galaxies and correct for PSF anisotropies using the KSB+ method. Two-dimensional mass maps of the clusters are created using a finite-field mass reconstruction algorithm, and verified with aperture mass statistics. The masses inferred from the reconstructions are compared to those obtained from fitting spherically symmetric SIS- and NFW-models to the tangential shear profiles. We discuss the NFW concentration parameters in detail. Results. From the mass reconstructions we infer M(2D)(< r(200))-masses of 11.7 +/- 3.1 x 10(14) h(70)(-1) M(circle dot) and 10.5 +/- 2.7 x 10(14) h(70)(-1) M(circle dot) for Abell 1351 and Abell 1995, respectively. About 3' northeast of the main mass peak of Abell 1351, we detect a significant secondary peak both in the mass reconstruction and from aperture mass statistics. This feature is also traced by cluster members selected by means of their V - I colour, and is therefore likely a real substructure of Abell 1351. From our fits to the tangential shear we infer masses of the order of M(200) similar to 8-9 x 10(14) h(70)(-1) M(circle dot) (Abell 1351) and M(200) similar to 5-6 x 10(14) h(70)(-1) M(circle dot) (Abell 1995). The concentration parameters remain poorly constrained by our weak lensing analysis.
