Outline of Final Research Achievements

Galaxy clusters are the largest object in the universe. High mass density and clumpy structure, namely subhalos, exist in galaxy clusters. The subhalo masses can be measured by weak-gravitational lensing analysis, and physical properties for hot gas in clusters are by X-ray observations. Our studies based on this funding reveals the following main results. 1) X-ray follow-up observation discovered hot gas associated with subhalos previously discovered by weak-lensing analysis and found a stripping feature. 2) Mass profile for dark subhalo associated with a giant, central elliptical galaxy and the entire region are measured by joint weak-lensing and stellar kinematics analysis. 3) Giant synchrotron radio emission traces the projected mass distribution for one merging cluster.
