For the estimate implied by the supplied Hubble constant, use the low-redshift Hubble law . ThenWith radians, inversion of the Einstein angular radius relation givesThe corresponding projected Einstein radius is .
This is the projected enclosed mass of the galaxy cluster, including all matter, not just its stars. Strictly, the gravitational lensing formula uses angular diameter distances, and at the low-redshift approximation is only an estimate. An exact value requires a specified cosmological expansion history and a consistent lens-to-source angular diameter distance; it cannot be determined from alone. The later estimates use the same distance approximation consistently.
