SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL 41262 MISS EMI MIYATA FACULTY OF SCIENCE, OSAKA UNIVERSITY OSAKA JAPAN 560 TOYONAKA 1-1, MACHIKANEYAMA E-mail: MIYATA@ESS.SCI.OSAKA-U.AC.JP Tel: 06-850-5475 Fax: 06-850-5539 Medium: 2.5GB8MM Subject: CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES AND SUPERCLUSTERS Title: DISTANT CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES WITH GIANT LUMINOUS ARCS Abstract: We propose to observe the distant lensing clusters of galaxies with great luminous arcs, which are extensively observed in optical and radio in order to determine the detailed dynamics and the properties of cluster members. Using the configurations of arcs in optical, we can determine the total mass and mass distribution of clusters of galaxies. In X-ray wavelength, the electron temperature of intra-cluster gas can allow us to determine them. In combine with the optical observations, it is possible to investigate the distribution of luminous dark matter. In the case of the distant clusters, we can also investigate the evolution of the clusters and the evolution of beta and core radius of clusters of galaxies. Co-Is: 1 KIYOSHI HAYASHIDA OSAKA UNIV.
