VizieR Online Data Catalog: CLASH-VLT: the FF cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 (Balestra+, 2016)

Abstract

The cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 was observed between 2012 December and 2014 November as part of the ESO Large Programme 186.A-0798 "Dark Matter Mass Distributions of Hubble Treasury Clusters and the Foundations of ΛCDM Structure Formation Models" (P.I.: Piero Rosati) using VIMOS at the ESO VLT. A total of 21 masks were observed (15 LR-Blue (low-resolution) masks and 6 MR (medium-resolution) masks). The LR-Blue masks cover the spectral range 3700-6700Å with a resolution of R=180, while the MR masks cover the range 4800-10000Å with a resolution of R=580. <P />The massive cluster has been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as part of the Multi-Cycle Treasury program Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH; P.I.: M. Postman; Postman et al. 2012, J/ApJS/199/25). The HST survey is nicely complemented by Subaru wide-field imaging.
