Physics

Scientific paper

We present results from a weak lensing survey of a sample of 53 clusters of galaxies at 0.15 < z < 0.4, selected based on their high X-ray luminosities. For each cluster, we measure the mass-to-light ratio out to a radius R ˜ (0.5-1.5) h-1 Mpc. By measuring the lensing masses of a large sample of clusters in a consistent way, we quantify the intrinsic scatter in M/L and determine its average value for massive clusters. In the near future, an ongoing spectro-photometric and weak lensing survey of a supercluster region in Aquarius will extend M/L measurements to much larger radii and explore its dependence on scale and environment.
