Scientific paper

The Lenses Structure and Dynamics (LSD) Survey aims at measuring the luminous and dark matter distribution of high redshift early-type galaxies by combining gravitational lens analysis with newly determined velocity dispersion profiles. Here we describe the first results from the LSD survey, a measurement of the internal structure of the lens galaxy in MG2016+112 (z=1.004). The relevance of this measurement to the cosmological model is briefly discussed, in particular in the context of E/S0 galaxy formation and evolution, the existence and shape of universal dark matter profiles, and the measurement of the Hubble constant from gravitational time delay.
