Scientific paper

The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey has discovered two stunning new examples of multiple strong lensing clusters at z=0.78 and 1.0. At least 4 bright arcs are detected in each cluster, spanning redshifts from 1 to 5. Our proposed Chandra ACIS data will be used for a detailed study of the mass distribution in the core to constrain the lensing mass model and determine whether the mass distribution has produced an unusually large cross-section for lensing. These unique systems will also enable a measure of cosmological parameters via the lensed sources at different redshifts. Finally, these observations will allow a detailed multiwavelength look at lensed galaxies at very high redshifts.
