The impact of cluster mergers on arc statistics

We study the impact of merger events on the strong lensing properties of galaxy clusters. Previous lensing simulations were not able to resolve dynamical time scales of cluster lenses, which arise on time scales which are of order a Gyr. In this case study, we first describe qualitatively with an an...
