Arc statistics with realistic cluster potentials: II. influence of cluster asymmetry and substructure

We construct a sample of numerical models for clusters of galaxies and employ these to investigate their capability of imaging background sources into long arcs. Emphasis is laid on the statistics of these arcs. We study cross sections for arc length and length-to-width ratio and optical depths for...
