Scientific paper

In the course of the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey, we have discovered a stunning new example of strong lensing by a relatively high redshift (z~0.7) cluster. At least 4 separate arcs are detected in our initial survey data, at 3-4 different cluster-centric radii and hence likely corresponding to at least 3 different background sources at 3 different redshifts. The proposed HST WFPC2 imaging, in conjunction with proposed VLT spectroscopy, offers an unprecedented opportunity to measure the core mass distribution of a cluster at such a high redshift. In combination with requested coordinated Chandra X-ray imaging, this will enable a direct comparison of the dark matter and baryonic components of the cluster, and enable a measure of cosmology via sources at different z.
