Paper: Cerny et al. (2025)Software: LenstoolTags: parametric
Strong-lensing model built around the cluster's radial arc(s), combined with the stellar velocity dispersion profile of the BCG to measure the inner slope of the dark-matter profile.

Paper: Allingham et al. (2024)Software: LenstoolTags: method test
Lens models re-optimised together with an analytic model of the intra-cluster medium, compared with XMM-Newton and ACT data.

Paper: Allingham et al. (2023)Software: Lenstool
Lenstool model with two MUSE-confirmed and four HST-only multiple-image systems, combined with XMM-Newton data; it shows a relaxing post-merger cluster.
