Abstract

We combine strong lensing modeling and dynamical constraints in order to probe the mass of SL2S J02140-0535, a galaxy group at z = 0.44 from the Strong Lensing Legacy Survey (SL2S) which has uncovered a new population of group-scale strong lenses. The strong lensing analysis is based on multi-band HST/ACS observations which display strong lensing features that we have followed up spectroscopically with VLT/FORS2. To constrain the scale radius of an NFW mass profile, we propose a new method taking advantage of the large scale dynamical information provided by VLT/FORS2 and KECK/LRIS spectroscopy of group members. This work shows a potentially useful method for constraining large-scale properties inaccessible to strong lensing, such as the scale radius of the NFW profile.
