Overview

Strong gravitational lensing models for 37 galaxy clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Giant Arcs Survey (SGAS) are made available as an HLSP, observed by HST GO13003 Cycle 20 large program (PI: Gladders). The lens models are constructed based on multi-band HST WFC3 imaging. The team supplemented these imaging data with ground-based imaging and spectroscopy from Magellan, Gemini, Apache Point Observatory, and the Multiple Mirror Telescope, in order to detect and spectroscopically confirm new multiply imaged lensed background sources behind the clusters. In the paper that accompanies this data release, Sharon et al. (2020), the team report the list of lensing constraints, and spectroscopic or photometric redshifts of sources in these fields, including cluster galaxies and background sources. The strong lensing mass models are constructed based on all available lensing evidence.

The HLSP include lens model outputs (kappa, gamma) for the best-optimized model and a range of maps drawn from sets in the MCMC that sample the parameter space, from which one can derive lens model properties such as cluster masses, magnification, deflection, and their uncertainties. The models were produced using the parametric lens modeling LENSTOOL (Jullo et al. 2007). The team refers the user to Sharon et al. (2020) for detailed information on the construction of the lens models, assessment of the quality of each model, and caveats. The team cautions the user that the derived lens models span a wide range of quality, which depends on the availability of constraints and the limitations due to lensing geometry. Users should consult the paper before making use of any model product.

Data Products

Image Files

The image files have the following naming convention:

hlsp_sgas_hst_<ins>-30mas_<target>_<filter>_v1_<type>-sci.fits

where:

  • <ins> = Instrument used, either "wfc3" or "wfpc2".
  • <target> = Name of cluster, e.g., "sdssj2111m0114".
  • <filter> = Name of filter, e.g., "f814w".
  • <type> = Type of drizzled image, "drz" is drizzled, "drc" is drizzled and CTE-corrected.

Model Files

Best-optimized gamma and kappa files are available inside each cluster's "models/v1/" folder.  These models have the following naming convention:

hlsp_sgas_model_model_<target>_sharon_v1_<type>.fits

where:

  • <target> = Name of cluster, e.g., "sdssj2111m0114".

  • <type> = Type of model file, either "gamma" or "kappa".

Sample gamma and kappa models, selected at equal intervals throughout the MCMC chain, are available in a "range/" subdirectory in each cluster's "models/v1/" folder. The sample lens models have the following naming convention:

hlsp_sgas_model_model_<target>_sharon-map<####>_v1_<type>.fits

where:

  • <target> = Name of cluster, e.g., "sdssj2111m0114".

  • map<####> = MCMC sampling models, ranging from 0000 to 0999, e.g., "map0004".

  • <type> = Type of model file, either "gamma" or "kappa".

Data file types:

_drz.fits Drizzled image.
_drc.fits Drizzled, CTE-corrected image.
_gamma.fits Shear maps normalized at DLS/DS = 1. NOTE: "DLS" stands for the angular diameter distance to the source from the lens. "DS" stands for the angular diameter distande to the source from Earth.
_kappa.fits Mass surface density ("convergence") maps normalized at DLS/DS=1.

Data Access

 

Bulk Download All Image Files

If you would like to download all the image files from SGAS (excluding the gamma and kappa maps), you can use this bulk download script: hlsp_sgas_model_model_all_sharon_v1_image-dl.sh.  Note the total size of the images is approximately 33 GB.
