Fig. 8

Upper panel shows the mass profile of the original NIS lens (solid curve), and that of three SPT-transformed lenses, with parameters f2 and γp indicated by the labels. For all of these three models, Δαmaxεacc = 5 × 10-3θE. Since the transformed mass distributions have a finite ellipticity, the density is plotted as a function of the geometric mean of the major and minor semi-axis of the best-fitting ellipse to an isodensity contour, except for the case with negative f2, for which the outer isodensity contours are not closing around the lens center; in this special case, the x-axis corresponds to the θ1-axis. The convergence changes up to 28% for radii smaller than 1 θE, radii larger than that show a significantly smaller convergence for a positive f2. Negative f2 show an essentially mirrored behavior compared to positive f2. This leads to convergence that may not decrease monotonically. The lower panel shows the ratio between transformed and original mass profile.
