We describe spectroscopic tomographic weak lensing measurements (spectrotomography) for two rich clusters of galaxies, A1767 and A2065, based on extensive spectroscopy and Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging. These detections represent the first use of spectrotomography based on archival Subaru/HSC imaging. The measurements depend only on galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts reported here. The approach cleanly separates cluster members from the background and suppresses systematics that may be introduced by the use of photometric background redshifts. We detect the tomographic shear signals at 3.1σ (A1767) and 3.5σ (A2065). The shear signal amplitudes are consistent with the cluster dynamical (caustic) masses, and they scale appropriately with source redshift. However, comparison with the first spectrophotometric detection of A2029 based on DECam imaging reveals some subtle potential systematic issues in deriving the shear signal for the relatively bright background galaxies used in the analysis. These issues may be important for understanding more extensive future applications of spectrotomography based on further Subaru imaging, as well as Euclid and LSST data. The total of three spectrophotometric detections (A1767, A2029, and A2065) sets the stage for broader application of the technique for unbiased cluster weak lensing mass determinations and potentially for a geometric cosmological test that is independent of other methods.
