1 A systematic analysis of caustic methods for galaxy clsuter masses
Gifford et al ApJ Jeeseon Song

2 Caustics (optics) In optics, a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface.(wikipedia)

3 Caustic (cluster mass estimation)
Direct measure of potential Φ(r)

4 Problem? No 3D information in real data
Observational uncertainty in radius and velocity

5 How to define surface
