Steven,

Most interesting.
The exact calculation of mass is not really all that necessary. All that is needed is that there is a greater red-shift for light from the cluster centre compared to that of outlier galaxies.
However, more accurate mass estimation does lead to more accurate red-shift corroborations.

Thanks for posting.

Regards, Rob
