Funding Acknowledgements

We would like to thank A. Fontana, M. Castellano, E. Merlin, and the ASTRODEEP collaboration for sharing their photometric pipeline and assisting us in developing the photometric catalogs on RXC J2248.7-4431. We would like to thank E. Vanzella for valuable discussions and input. T.M. acknowledges support from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) through JSPS research fellowships for Young Scientists. T.J. acknowledges support provided by NASA through Program # HST-HF251359 through a grant from the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. This paper is based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, obtained at STScI, on observations made with the Spitzer Space Telescope, which is operated by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology under a contract with NASA, and on data products from observations made with ESO Telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under programme ID 60.A-9345(A). We acknowledge support through grants HST-13459, HST-GO13177, and HST-AR13235. STScI is operated by AURA, Inc. under NASA contract NAS 5-26555. B.V. acknowledges support from an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (PD0028506). This research made use of the following open-source packages for Python and we are thankful to the developers of these: Astropy (Astropy Collaboration et al. 2013), APLpy (Robitaille & Bressert 2012), iPython (Perez & Granger 2007), numpy (van der Walt et al. 2011), matplotlib (Hunter 2007), and PyFITS, which is a product of the Space Telescope Science Institute, which is operated by AURA for NASA. The lens models were obtained via the HFF page on the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST).
