Measurements from our joint strong lensing and stellar dynamical models, without any kinematic data (grey) and with mock IFU stellar kinematics (orange and blue). The corner plot shows the most relevant parameters in the fit, consisting of the lens distance, Dd, int, time-delay distance, DΔt, int, internal mass-sheet parameter, λint, and orbital anisotropy, βz. The contours highlight the 1σ, 2σ, and 3σ confidence regions. The black points (lines) depict the mock input values. Without any kinematics, DΔt, int and λint are highly degenerate, while Dd, int and βz are unconstrained. The posterior PDFs for Dd, int and βz are virtually flat in this case, which is why we only show the 2D contours in the DΔt, intλint space. IFU data will considerably tighten the constraints. In the IDEAL case, the mock input values are recovered within 2σ. In the FIDUCIAL case, the mock input values are also recovered within the 2σ bands, but with larger relative uncertainties for the lens distance (δDd, int/Dd, int ≈ 4%). These measurements are independent of cosmological model assumptions.
