Mass and Dynamical Structures of the Lensing Clusters CL0024+17 and CL2244+02We present a detailed gravitational mass measurement based on the XMM-Newton imaging spectroscopy analysis of the lensing cluster of galaxies CL0024+17 at $z = 0.395$. The emission appears approximately symmetric. However, on the scale of $r\sim3.3'$, some indication of elongation is visible in the northwest-southeast direction from the hardness ratio map. Within $3'$, we measure a global gas temperature of $3.52\pm0.17$ keV, metallicity of $0.22\pm0.07$, and a bolometric luminosity of $2.9\pm0. l\times10(exp 44)$ erg/s. We derive a temperature distribution with an isothermal temperature of 3.9 keV up to a radius of $1.5'$ and a strong temperature gradient in the outskirts ($1.3' less than r less than 3.3'$). Under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium, we measure the gravitational mass and gas mass fraction to be $M-{200} = 2.0\pm0.3\times 10(exp 14)$ solar masses and $f-{gas} = 0.20\pm0.03$ at $r-{200} = 1.05$ Mpc (all for a Hubble constant of 70 km/sec/Mpc) using the observed gas temperature profile. The complex core structure is the key to explaining the discrepancy between the gravitational mass determined from the XMM-Newton observations and HST optical lensing measurements.
