Constraints on (Omega,Lambda) from strong lensing clusters

We use three strong lensing clusters to constrain the cosmological parameters Omega_m and Omega_lambda. Recent HST observations of galaxy clusters reveal a large number of multiple images, which are predicted to be at different redshifts. We showed in a previous work that if it is possible to measure spectroscopically the redshift of many multiple images then one can constrain (Omega_m,Omega_lambda) through ratios of angular diameter distances independently of any external assumptions. Using three strong lensing clusters, our combined results lead to tight constraints.
