Abstract
We present a weak lensing study of the galaxy cluster IDCS J1426.5+3508 at z = 1.75, which is the highest-redshift strong lensing cluster known and the most distant cluster for which a weak lensing analysis has been undertaken. Using F160W, F814W, and F606W observations with the Hubble Space Telescope, we detect tangential shear at 2σ significance. Fitting a Navarro–Frenk–White mass profile to the shear with a theoretical median mass-concentration relation, we derive a mass M_(200,crit) = 2.3_(1.4)^(+2.1) x 10^(14)M_⊙. This mass is consistent with previous mass estimates from the Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, X-ray, and strong lensing. The cluster lies on the local SZ–weak lensing mass scaling relation observed at low redshift, indicative of minimal evolution in this relation.
