Weak Lensing Mass of Nearby Clusters of Galaxies

We describe first results of a project to create weak lensing mass maps for a complete, X-ray luminosity-limited sample of 19 nearby (z < 0.1) southern galaxy clusters scheduled for Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations by the Viper Telescope at the South Pole. We have collected data on 1/3 of the...

Description
Summary:We describe first results of a project to create weak lensing mass maps for a complete, X-ray luminosity-limited sample of 19 nearby (z < 0.1) southern galaxy clusters scheduled for Sunyaev-Zel'dovich observations by the Viper Telescope at the South Pole. We have collected data on 1/3 of the sample and present motivation for the project as well as projected mass maps of two clusters. : submitted to "Gravitational Lensing: Recent progress and Future Goals", eds: T.Brainerd and C.Kochanek, ASP Conf Series, 2 pages, 2 PS figures
