Jones et al 2013 obtained spectroscopic observation of source E using Keck II. They found that source E and source A has similar spec-z but kinematically different. In addition, they found that their source position is slightly different. Consequently, they argue that these two sources are merging.
Base on this new development, I now fix the redshift of source E to 2.2. Previously the model derived redshifts is within 2.2 to 2.3, so I don't expect the lens model is significantly different.
The result:
Our main conclusion is unchanged : Group halos continue to displace inward wrt the BCGs.
NFW associated with the BCGs is roughly aligned with the BCGs, the eastern eye NFW is displaced slightly upward(north) by 0.4 arcsec, but this is insignificant. Both NFW remains highly elliptical and roughly aligned with the light profiles.
Internal consistency:
It is good. result with source G can be improved. Other delens-relens result is indifference from the older models.
