Cosmic Horseshoe (J1148+1930) Ha and OIII spectra
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present a detailed analysis of the inner mass structure of the Cosmic Horseshoe (J1148+1930) strong gravitational lens system observed with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3).
Description
In addition to the spectacular Einstein ring, this systems shows a radial arc. We obtained the redshift of the radial arc counter image z_s,r_=1.961+/-0.001 from Gemini observations.
To disentangle the dark and luminous matter, we consider three different profiles for the dark matter distribution: a power-law profile, the NFW, and a generalized version of the NFW profile. For the luminous matter distribution, we base it on the observed light distribution that is fitted with three components: a point mass for the central light component resembling an active galactic nucleus, and the remaining two extended light components scaled by a constant M/L. To constrain the model further, we include published velocity dispersion measurements of the lens galaxy and perform a self-consistent lensing and axisymmetric Jeans dynamical modeling.

Our model fits well to the observations including the radial arc, independent of the dark matter profile. Depending on the dark matter profile, we get a dark matter fraction between 60% and 70%. With our composite mass model we find that the radial arc helps to constrain the inner dark matter distribution of the Cosmic Horseshoe independently of the dark matter profile.
