Hydrodynamical simulations of merging galaxy clusters: giant dark matter particle colliders, powered by gravity

Terrestrial particle accelerators collide charged particles, then watch the trajectory of outgoing debris - but they cannot manipulate dark matter. Fortunately, dark matter is the main component of galaxy clusters, which are continuously pulled together by ...

Limit on the intergalactic magnetic field from the ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray hotspot in the Perseus-Pisces region

Andrii Neronov, Oleg Kalashev

The Telescope Array Collaboration has reported an evidence for existence of a source of ultrahigh energy cosmic ray events in Perseus-Pisces supercluster. We show that the mere existence of such a source imposes an upper bound on the strength of intergalac ...

Cosmic void exclusion models and their impact on the distance scale measurements from large-scale structure

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Cheng Zhao, Amélie Tamone

Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAOs) studies based on the clustering of voids and matter tracers provide important constraints on cosmological parameters related to the expansion of the Universe. However, modelling the void exclusion effect is an importan ...

Probing the nature of Dark Energy through the study of large scale structures using spectroscopic surveys and their simulations

Andrei Variu

Measurements of large-scale structure (LSS), as performed on the largest 3D map of over two million extragalactic sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, together with measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies, are in complete a ...

Virgo Filaments. II. Catalog and First Results on the Effect of Filaments on Galaxy Properties

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani

Virgo is the nearest galaxy cluster; it is thus ideal for studies of galaxy evolution in dense environments in the local universe. It is embedded in a complex filamentary network of galaxies and groups, which represents the skeleton of the large-scale Lani ...

Cosmic void baryon acoustic oscillation measurement: evaluation of sensitivity to selection effects

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Andrei Variu, Daniel Felipe Forero Sanchez, Cheng Zhao, Amélie Tamone

Cosmic voids defined as a subset of Delaunay triangulation (DT) circumspheres have been used to measure the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) scale; providing tighter constraints on cosmological parameters when combined with matter tracers. These voids ar ...

Dark matter in galaxy clusters: Parametric strong-lensing approach

Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a parametric strong-lensing analysis of three massive galaxy clusters for which Hubble Space Telescope imaging is available, as well as spectroscopy of multiply imaged systems and galaxy cluster members. Our aim is to probe the inner shape of da ...

Metallicity Distribution Function of the Eridanus II Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy from Hubble Space Telescope Narrowband Imaging

Nicolas Lawrence Etienne Longeard

We use deep narrowband CaHK (F395N) imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to construct the metallicity distribution function (MDF) of Local Group ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Eridanus II (Eri II). When combined with archival F475W and F814W data, ...

Virgo filaments I. Processing of gas in cosmological filaments around the Virgo cluster

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani

It is now well established that galaxies have different morphologies, gas contents, and star formation rates (SFR) in dense environments like galaxy clusters. The impact of environmental density extends to several virial radii, and galaxies appear to be pr ...

The GOGREEN survey: transition galaxies and the evolution of environmental quenching

Pascale Jablonka, Hung-Hsu Chan

We measure the rate of environmentally driven star formation quenching in galaxies at z similar to 1, using eleven massive () galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 1.0 < z < 1.4 from the GOGREEN sample. We identify three different types of transition g ...

Molecular gas in CLASH brightest cluster galaxies at z similar to 0.2-0.9

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani

Brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) are excellent laboratories for the study of galaxy evolution in dense Mpc-scale environments. We used the IRAM-30 m to observe, in CO(1 -> 0), CO(2 -> 1), CO(3 -> 2), or CO(4 -> 3), 18 BCGs at z similar to 0.2-0.9 drawn fr ...

Molecular gas and star formation activity in luminous infrared galaxies in clusters at intermediate redshifts

Pascale Jablonka, Gianluca Castignani, Mathilde Jauzac, Damien Louis Alexandre Spérone-Longin

We investigate the role of dense megaparsec-scale environments in processing molecular gas of cluster galaxies as they fall into the cluster cores. We selected a sample of similar to 20 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) belonging to intermediate-redshift ...

A detection of wobbling brightest cluster galaxies within massive galaxy clusters

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, David Richard Harvey

A striking signal of dark matter beyond the standard model is the existence of cores in the centre of galaxy clusters. Recent simulations predict that a brightest cluster galaxy ( BCG) inside a cored galaxy cluster will exhibit residual wobbling due to pre ...
