Comparison of the total mass profile from the three lens models (solid lines) with the ICL profile from Montes & Trujillo (2022; shaded orange and blue regions for the east and west sectors, respectively) and the GC number profile from Lee et al. (2022; blue dots). For the latter, we re-scaled the number density by an arbitrary number of 2 × 109 in order to overlap with the ICL profile. The black dashed line is a power law that scales with distance as R−1.3. The red dashed line is a power law that scales as R−0.3. The dotted lines are the density profiles from Mahler et al. (2023), while the blue solid line is the lens model from Pascale et al. (2022). These models are derived with similar lensing constraints but using different algorithms. The light-blue shaded region displays the range of models (minimum and maximum profiles) we obtained when we varied the initial condition of the optimization process.
