Abstract

We perform a strong-lensing analysis of the merging galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 (M0416; z=0.42) in recent CLASH/HST observations. We identify 70 new multiple images and candidates of 23 background sources in the range 0.76 x 10^{14} h^{-1}M_{⊙}) exhibit as elongated critical curves as M0416. ; Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. V2: accepted to ApJ Letters; minor changes and updates; in Fig.3 labeling error corrected. Mass models available online: ftp://wise-ftp.tau.ac.il/pub/adiz/M0416/
