We analyse the surface density of very faint galaxies at the limit of the sky background noise in the field of the cluster of galaxies Cl0024+1654. The radial variation of their number density in the magnitude bins $B=26-28$ and $I=24-26.5$ displays an (anti)bias magnification effect for $I < 24$ which provides the redshift range of the populations seen in $B$ and $I$. The depletion curve can be reproduced with two redshift populations with $60% pm 10%$ of the $B$ galaxies between $z=0.9$ and $z=1.1$ and the remaining at a redshift close to $z=3$. The $I$ selected population is similar but with a minimum extending from the $B$ inner critical line to $R_I=60$. Whatever the cosmological model, the $I$-selected galaxies spread up to a larger redshift with about 20% above $z > 4$. Using a model for the gravitational potential, the locations of the two extreme critical lines for the B and I galaxies favour $Omega_{Lambda}$-dominated flat universes with a cosmological constant ranging from 0.6 to 0.9. The result is confirmed by a preliminary investigation of A370. We discuss the method to search the last critical line and the various biases.

The study of the magnification bias produced on high-redshift sub-millimetre galaxies by foreground galaxies through the analysis of the cross-correlation function was recently demonstrated as an interesting independent alternative to the weak-lensin
g shear as a cosmological probe. In the case of the proposed observable, most of the cosmological constraints mainly depend on the largest angular separation measurements. Therefore, we aim to study and correct the main large-scale biases that affect foreground and background galaxy samples to produce a robust estimation of the cross-correlation function. Then we analyse the corrected signal to derive updated cosmological constraintsWe measured the large-scale, bias-corrected cross-correlation functions using a background sample of H-ATLAS galaxies with photometric redshifts > 1.2 and two different foreground samples (GAMA galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts or SDSS galaxies with photometric ones, both in the range 0.2 < z < 0.8). These measurements are modelled using the traditional halo model description that depends on both halo occupation distribution and cosmological parameters. We then estimated these parameters by performing a Markov chain Monte Carlo under multiple scenarios to study the performance of this observable and how to improve its results. After the large-scale bias corrections, we obtain only minor improvements with respect to the previous magnification bias results, mainly confirming their conclusions: a lower bound on $Omega_m > 0.22$ at $95%$ C.L. and an upper bound $sigma_8 < 0.97$ at $95%$ C.L. (results from the $z_{spec}$ sample). However, by combining both foreground samples into a simplified tomographic analysis, we were able to obtain interesting constraints on the $Omega_m$-$sigma_8$ plane as follows: $Omega_m= 0.50_{- 0.20}^{+ 0.14}$ and $sigma_8= 0.75_{- 0.10}^{+ 0.07}$ at 68% CL.
Using moderate-resolution Keck spectra, we have examined the velocity profiles of 15 members of cluster Cl0024+1654 at z=0.4. WFPC2 images of the cluster members have been used to determine structural parameters, including disk sizes, orientations, a
nd inclinations. We compare two methods of optical rotation curve analysis for kinematic measurements. Both methods take seeing, slit size and orientation, and instrumental effects into account and yield similar rotation velocity measurements. Four of the galaxies in our sample exhibit unusual kinematic signatures, such as non-circular motions. Our key result is that the Cl0024 galaxies are marginally underluminous (0.50 +/- 0.23 mag), given their rotation velocities, as compared to the local Tully-Fisher relation. In this analysis, we assume no slope evolution, and take into account systematic differences between local and distant velocity and luminosity measurements. Our result is particularly striking considering the Cl0024 members have very strong emission lines, and local galaxies with similar Halpha equivalent widths tend to be overluminous on the Tully-Fisher relation. Cl0024 Tully-Fisher residuals appear to be correlated most strongly with galaxy rotation velocities, indicating a possible change in the slope of the Tully-Fisher relation. However, we caution that this result may be strongly affected by magnitude selection and by the original slope assumed for the analysis. Cl0024 residuals also depend weakly on color, emission line strength and extent, and photometric asymmetry. In a comparison of stellar and gas motions in two Cl0024 members, we find no evidence for counter-rotating stars and gas, an expected signature of mergers.
We investigate to which precision local magnification ratios, $mathcal{J}$, ratios of convergences, $f$, and reduced shears, $g = (g_{1}, g_{2})$, can be determined model-independently for the five resolved multiple images of the source at $z_mathrm{
s}=1.675$ in CL0024. We also determine if a comparison to the respective results obtained by the parametric modelling program Lenstool and by the non-parametric modelling program Grale can detect biases in the lens models. For these model-based approaches we additionally analyse the influence of the number and location of the constraints from multiple images on the local lens properties determined at the positions of the five multiple images of the source at $z_mathrm{s}=1.675$. All approaches show high agreement on the local values of $mathcal{J}$, $f$, and $g$. We find that Lenstool obtains the tightest confidence bounds even for convergences around one using constraints from six multiple image systems, while the best Grale model is generated only using constraints from all multiple images with resolved brightness features and adding limited small-scale mass corrections. Yet, confidence bounds as large as the values themselves can occur for convergences close to one in all approaches. Our results are in agreement with previous findings, supporting the light-traces-mass assumption and the merger hypothesis for CL0024. Comparing the three different approaches allows to detect modelling biases. Given that the lens properties remain approximately constant over the extension of the image areas covered by the resolvable brightness features, the model-independent approach determines the local lens properties to a comparable precision but within less than a second.

We have obtained U and R band observations of the depletion of background galaxies due to the gravitational lensing of the galaxy cluster CL0024+1654 (z=0.39). The radial depletion curves show a significant depletion in both bands within a radius of
40-70 from the cluster center. This is the first time depletion is detected in the U band. This gives independent evidence for a break in the slope of the U band luminosity function at faint magnitudes. The radially averaged R band depletion curve is broader and deeper than in the U band. The differences can be attributed to the wavelength dependence of the slope of the luminosity function and to the different redshift distribution of the objects probed in the two bands. We estimate the Einstein radius of a singular isothermal sphere lens model using maximum likelihood analysis. Adopting a slope of the number counts of 0.2 and using the background density found beyond 150 from the cluster center we find an Einstein radius of 17+/-3 and 25+/-3 in the U and R band, respectively. When combined with the redshift of the single background galaxy at z=1.675 seen as four giant arcs around 30 from the cluster center, these values indicate a median redshift in the range 0.7 to 1.1 for the U_AB > 24 mag and R_AB > 24 mag populations.
Motivated by recent observations of galaxies dominated by emission lines, which show evidence of being metal poor with young stellar populations, we present calculations of multiple model grids with a range of abundances, ionization parameters, and s
tellar ages, finding that the predicted spectral line diagnostics are heavily dependent on all three parameters. These new model grids extend the ionization parameter to larger values than typically explored. We compare these model predictions with previous observations of such objects, including two new Lyman-$alpha$ emitting galaxies (LAE) that we have observed. Our models give improved constraints on the metallicity and ionization parameter of these previously studied objects, as we are now able to consider high ionization parameter models. However, similar to previous work, these models have difficulty predicting large line diagnostics for high ionization potential species, requiring future work refining the modelling of FUV photons. Our model grids are also able to constrain the metallicity and ionization parameter of our LAEs, and give constraints on their Ly$alpha$ escape fractions, all of which are consistent with recent lower redshift studies of LAEs.
