11 A Matter of Scale: strong lensing ((1 Z(z)κ(ψ)) 2 (Z(z)γ(ψ)) 2) 2 χ 2 s (ψ) = i σ 2 i i Julian Merten (ITA HD / OA BO) Cluster Mass Reconstruction October 27 th, / 13

12 Making it all work: Numerics α, γ, κ, F and G can be expressed by derivatives of ψ via finite differences. A specific finite difference can be written as a matrix multiplication κ i = K ij ψ j. The minimisation of the χ 2 -function can be translated into a linear system of equations. Furthermore the code uses a 2-level iteration scheme. Runtime: 2 mins - 6 hrs. Implementation Parallel C++ code medium sized lines Uses GSL, LAPACK, ATLAS, MPI Possibly, GPU implementation. More on that soon.

13 The Reconstruction Method In our reconstruction method we try to combine the advantages of both lensing regimes into a joint method: Fully non-parametric, adaptive grid method (no initial model necessary). Reconstruction quantity is the lensing potential ψ. Maximum-likelihood method. We are searching for that lensing potential which is most likely to have caused the observations: Input data are: χ 2 (ψ) = χ 2 w (ψ) + χ 2 s (ψ) 1 Ellipticity catalogue 2 Arc positions 3 Flexion catalogue (come tomorrow if you are interested in that) 4 Multiple image positions (Bradač et al ) Julian Merten (ITA HD / OA BO) Cluster Mass Reconstruction October 27 th, / 13
