| Summary:
We compute parametric measurements of the Einstein-radius-enclosed total mass
for 177 cluster-scale strong gravitational lenses identified by the ChicagO
Optically-selected Lenses Located At the Margins of Public Surveys (COOL-LAMPS)
collaboration with lens redshifts ranging from $0.2 lessapprox z lessapprox
1.0$ using only two measured parameters in each lensing system: the Einstein
radius, and the brightest-cluster-galaxy (BCG) redshift. We then constrain the
Einstein-radius-enclosed luminosity and stellar mass by fitting parametric
spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with aperture photometry from the Dark
Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS) in the $g$, $r$, and $z$-band Dark Energy
Camera (DECam) filters. We find that the BCG redshift, enclosed total mass, and
enclosed luminosity are strongly correlated and well described by a planar
relationship in 3D space. We also find that the enclosed total mass and stellar
mass are correlated with a logarithmic slope of $0.443pm0.035$, and the
enclosed total mass and stellar-to-total mass fraction are correlated with a
logarithmic slope of $-0.563pm0.035$. The correlations described here can be
used to validate strong lensing candidates in upcoming imaging surveys — such
as Rubin/Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) — in which an algorithmic
treatment of lensing systems will be needed due to the sheer volume of data
these surveys will produce.
