Abstract
We have studied the mass distribution in the lensing galaxy 2237+0305 using constraints from both gravitational lensing and photometric and spectroscopic observations. We find that with sufficient dynamical information we can constrain the mass-to-light ratio of the luminous components and determine the dynamical contribution of the disk. in addition, future observations should allow us to place constraints on the shape of the dark matter halo and its inner slope.
