Arc statistics with realistic cluster potentials: III. a systematic effect on cluster mass estimates
It is shown in this paper that deviations of galaxy cluster lenses from spherical symmetry can render mass estimates for galaxy clusters based on the formation of large arcs systematically to high. Numerical models show that the mass needed for producing large arcs in clusters can be notably smaller...
