Spectroscopy of 26 lensing cluster cores

DOI

We present results from a spectroscopic program targeting 26 strong-lensing cluster cores that were visually identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; Gladders et al. 2011, in prep) and the Second Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS-2; Bayliss et al. 2011, in prep). The 26 galaxy cluster lenses span a redshift range of 0.2<z=10 cluster member galaxies. We account for the expected biases in dynamical masses of strong-lensing-selected clusters as predicted by results from numerical simulations and discuss possible sources of bias in our observations.
