SIS and NFW halo fits to the reduced tangential shear. The radial profile is measured from the BCG. High S/N extending to large radii permits a two-parameter NFW profile fit. Galaxies within ﹩100^{\prime\prime} ﹩ are excluded from the fitting algorithm to omit the central area where the weak-lensing approximation may break down.
