Figure 1: r-band image of the Abell 2163 field. The zoomed image shows the bright elliptical galaxy identified as the centre of the cluster from X-ray maps: also visible are the faint gravitational arcs. |

Figure 3: PSF correction: the first three panels show the spatial pattern of the observed, fitted and residual ellipticities of stars: a scaling factor was applied for display purposes; X and Y are the pixel coordinates in the image. The last panel shows the observed versus corrected ellipticities. |

Figure 4: S-maps obtained by aperture densitometry and convolution with up: a Gaussian filter function (size: 5 arcmin); down: the filter function proposed by Schirmer (2004). The contour levels are plotted at S=(3,4,5,6,7), where S is defined in Sect. 3.1.1. The small box indicates the position of the elliptical galaxy with arcs. The dashed contours show for comparison the density distribution of cluster galaxies (see also Maurogordato et al. 2008). |
