Abstract
The mass function of massive high-z clusters is extremely sensitive to the cosmological parameters. However, it is challenging to estimate their accurate masses. The "See Change" HST programme offers a rare opportunity to measure them using weak gravitational lensing. In this talk, we study SPT-CL J0205-5829 (z=1.322) and MOO1014+0038 (z=1.24) discovered in the SPT-SZ survey and MaDCoW Survey, respectively. We perform weak lensing analysis with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) images by carefully taking into account the instrumental effect. We successfully detect weak lensing signals which produce cluster masses consistent with those from non-lensing methods based on hydrostatic equilibrium.
