The Concentration-Mass Relation from CLASH clusters using galaxy dynamics

Galaxy clusters play a key role in testing cosmological models and in constraining the properties of dark matter. One of these key tests is the mass density profile of clusters - the concentration-mass relation. There is a reported tension between the observed concentration-mass relation and the one theoretically expected using simulated galaxy clusters, where the observed clusters appear to have higher concentration than simulated clusters of similar total mass. In The Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH), we use different and independent techniques to estimate the mass distribution in clusters. The comparison between different techniques offers an observational test of the techniques and understanding of the systematics. In this work, we estimate the concentration-mass relation for about 8 (at the 0.2< z &;lt; 0.6 redshift range) of the 20 X-ray selected CLASH clusters using galaxy dynamics. We use a unique spectroscopic data set with more than about 300 cluster members per cluster. Finally, we compare our results to the theoretical expected ones and to the estimations derived using the lensing technique
