Here we present the weak lensing results of A1758, which is known to have
four cluster members undergoing two separate mergers, A1758N and A1758S. Weak
lensing results of A1758N agree with previous weak lensing results of clusters
1E0657-558 (Bullet cluster) and MACS J0025.4-1222, whose X-ray gas components
were found to be largely separated from their clusters' gravitational
potentials. A1758N has a geometry that is different from previously published
mergers in that one of its X-ray peaks overlays the corresponding gravitational
potential and the other X-ray peak is well separated from its cluster's
gravitational potential. The weak lensing mass peaks of the two northern
clusters are separated at the 2.5 sigma level. We estimate the combined mass of
the clusters in A1758N to be 2.2+/-0.5*10^15 M_sun and r_200=2300(+100/-130)
kpc. We also detect seven strong lensing candidates, two of which may provide
information that would improve the mass measurements of A1758N.
