While virtually all cosmological observations support the standard, ΛCDM cosmological model, galaxy clusters pose yet unanswered puzzles. Among them and related with each other are the arc-statistics problem, the overconcentration problem and the problem of large Einstein radii. All of them refer to the unexpectedly strong gravitational-lensing effects produced by massive galaxy clusters. It appears as if such clusters were much more efficient lenses than theory can explain. One major difficulty with the assessment of how relevant these problems are is the significance of the claims. Strong gravitational lensing being a rare phenomenon, they rest on small samples of well-studied cases. Testing the substance of these problems is the paramount goal of a 525 orbit proposal to the Space Telecope Science Institute that has recently been approved. In its course, 25 well-selected galaxy clusters will be observed in 14 wave bands. It will be one of the largest observing campaigns ever conducted with the Hubble Space Telescope. We are involved in this programme and propose to address all of its gravitational-lensing aspects. We wish to construct accurate mass maps including error bars based on joint analyses of strong and weak lensing, to derive concentration parameters and effective Einstein radii, to compare those to theoretical predictions and analyse the significance of possible deviations from them, and to test geometrically the relation between angular-diameter distance and redshift in order to constrain the expansion rate of the Universe. The upcoming cluster sample will be the ideal observational basis for the research proposed.

虽然几乎所有的宇宙学观测都支持标准的ΛCDM宇宙学模型，星系团仍然是一个未解之谜。其中又相互联系的是弧统计问题、过集中问题和大爱因斯坦半径问题。所有这些都是指大质量星系团产生的意想不到的强大引力透镜效应。看起来，这些星系团似乎是比理论所能解释的更有效的透镜。评估这些问题的相关性的一个主要困难是索赔的重要性。强引力透镜是一种罕见的现象，它们依赖于经过充分研究的小样本。测试这些问题的实质是最近获得批准的向空间望远镜科学研究所提出的525轨道建议的首要目标。在其过程中，将在14个波段观察到25个精心挑选的星系团。这将是哈勃太空望远镜有史以来最大的观测活动之一。我们参与了这一计划，并建议解决其所有的引力透镜方面。我们希望构建精确的质量图，包括基于强透镜和弱透镜的联合分析的误差条，推导出浓度参数和有效爱因斯坦半径，将它们与理论预测进行比较，并分析可能偏离它们的重要性，并从几何上测试角直径距离和红移之间的关系，以限制宇宙的膨胀率。即将到来的集群样本将是拟议研究的理想观测基础。
