This section discusses the impact of observational data uncertainties on cluster mass models, as well as the effect of best-fitting mass models constructed using GRALE on singularity maps. The authors estimate the number of three-image arcs that can be observed in the Hubble Frontier Fields cluster lenses with JWST.
Due to the finite amount of observational data, the best-fitting parameters corresponding to the reconstructed cluster mass have uncertainties. In turn, these uncertainties affect the inferences made from these mass models. Following our earlier work, we have studied the effect of such uncertainties on the singularity maps in simulated and actual galaxy clusters. The mass models for both simulated and real clusters have been constructed using GRALE. The final best-fitting mass models created using GRALE give the simplest singularity maps and a lower limit on the number of point singularities that a lens has to offer. The simple nature of these singularity maps also puts a lower limit on the number of three image (tangential and radial) arcs that a cluster lens has. Hence, we estimate the number of galaxy sources giving rise to the three image arcs, which can be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). We find that we expect to observe at least 20-30 tangential and 5-10 radial three-image arcs in the Hubble Frontier Fields cluster lenses with the JWST.
