Lensing from the light-traces-mass map of MS 1224+20

Abstract
The MS1224+20 cluster of galaxies is a high luminosity X-ray source at z=0.325. To compare the lensing mass to the virial mass we have completed a uniform, high precision redshift survey over a field of $7arcm imes9arcm$, obtaining 75 redshifts. The velocity dispersion of 30 cluster galaxies is $775$ kms and the projected harmonic radius is 0.32 hmpc. The virial mass is $2.1 imes 10^{14} h^{-1} msun$. Correcting for faint cluster galaxies without redshifts and allowing for a modest evolution in the galaxy luminosity function gives a current epoch mass-to-light ratio $M/L_V(0)=255h msun/lsun$. The same field contains a $z=0.225$ cluster with $sigma_vsimeq 500$ kms, and a group at $z=0.412$ with $sigma_vsimeq 400$ kms. The clusters' gravitational field induces image ellipticities that are calculated from the light-traces-mass density distribution and compared to the observed average tangential distortions from Fahlman et (1994). Between 1.5 and 3 virial radii, the observed lensing distortions are $4pm2$ times stronger than the light-traces-mass model and the virial M/L predict.
