We present a new weak lensing analysis of the Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy cluster Abell 2744 (z = 0.308) using new Magellan/MegaCam multi-band gri imaging data. We carried out our study by applying brand-new PSF and shape measurement software that allow the use of multi-band data simultaneously, which we first tested on Subaru/Suprime-Cam BR_cz' imaging data of the same cluster. The projected total mass of this system within 2.35 Mpc from the south-west BCG is (2.56 ± 0.26)×10¹⁵ M_⊙, which makes Abell 2744 one of the most massive clusters known. This value is consistent, within the errors, with previous weak lensing and dynamical studies. Our analysis reveals the presence of three high-density substructures, thus supporting the picture of a complex merging scenario. This result is also confirmed by a comparison with a recent strong lensing study based on high-resolution JWST imaging. Moreover, our reconstructed total mass profile nicely agrees with an extrapolation of the strong lensing best-fit model up to several megaparsecs from the BCG centre.
