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Λ清洁发展机制宇宙学模型，但星系团构成了尚未解答的谜题。其中相互关联的问题有弧度统计问题、过度集中问题和大爱因斯坦半径问题。所有这些都指的是大质量星系团产生的出人意料的强大引力透镜效应。这样的星团似乎比理论所能解释的要高效得多。评估这些问题的相关性的一个主要困难是索赔的重要性。强烈的引力透镜是一种罕见的现象，它们依赖于研究充分的案例的小样本。测试这些问题的实质是最近获得批准的向空间电信科学研究所提出的525轨道提案的首要目标。在它的过程中，将在14个波段观察到25个精选的星系团。这将是哈勃太空望远镜有史以来进行的最大规模的观测活动之一。我们参与了这个项目，并提议解决其所有引力透镜方面的问题。我们希望在强弱透镜联合分析的基础上，建立包括误差条在内的精确质量图，导出浓度参数和有效爱因斯坦半径，将其与理论预测进行比较，并分析可能偏离它们的意义，并从几何上检验角径距离和红移之间的关系，以限制宇宙的膨胀速率。即将到来的星团样本将是拟议研究的理想观测基础。
