Weak-lensing Characterization of the Dark Matter in 29 Merging Clusters that Exhibit Radio Relics

Jee, M. James; Finner, Kyle; van Weeren, Reinout J. +5 more

We present a multiwavelength analysis of 29 merging galaxy clusters that exhibit radio relics. For each merging system, we perform a weak-lensing analysis on Subaru optical imaging. We generate high-resolution mass maps of the dark matter distributions, which are critical for discerning the merging constituents. Combining the weak-lensing detectio…
