Detecting shocked intergalactic gas with X-ray and radio observations

Claudio Gheller

Detecting the thermal and non-thermal emission from the shocked cosmic gas surrounding large-scale structures represents a challenge for observations, as well as a unique window into the physics of the warm-hot intergalactic medium. In this work, we presen ...

Observable tests of self-interacting dark matter in galaxy clusters: BCG wobbles in a constant density core

David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey

Models of cold dark matter (CDM) predict that the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters should be cuspy, centrally concentrated. Constant density cores would be strong evidence for beyond CDM physics, such as self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). A ...

Growing a 'cosmic beast': observations and simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, David Richard Harvey, Barney Frederick Drake, Mathilde Jauzac, Matthieu Schaller, Matthew Aaron Robertson, Elena Cristina Dalla Vecchia, Richard Massey

We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS J0717.5+3745 (M(R < 1Mpc) similar to 2 x 10(15) M-circle dot, z = 0.54) is already known to contain four merging components. We show th ...

Mapping substructure in the HST Frontier Fields cluster lenses and in cosmological simulations

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Hakim Atek, Mathilde Jauzac, Johan Richard, Cristina Popa

We map the lensing-inferred substructure in the first three clusters observed by the Hubble Space Telescope Frontier Fields (HSTFF) Initiative: Abell 2744 (z = 0.308), MACSJ 0416, (z = 0.396) and MACSJ 1149 (z = 0.543). Statistically resolving dark matter ...

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 ...

Cosmological constraints from the convergence 1-point probability distribution

Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We examine the cosmological information available from the 1-point probability density function (PDF) of the weak-lensing convergence field, utilizing fast L-PICOLA simulations and a Fisher analysis. We find competitive constraints in the Omega(m)-sigma(8) ...

The SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: final emission line galaxy target selection

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Anand Stéphane Raichoor, Johan Comparat, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Claudio Gorgoni, David Schlegel, Yi Wang, Arjun Dey

We describe the algorithm used to select the emission line galaxy (ELG) sample at z similar to 0.85 for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV, using photometric data from the DECam Legacy Survey. Our select ...

Is ram-pressure stripping an efficient mechanism to remove gas in galaxies?

Elena Ricciardelli

We study how the gas in a sample of galaxies (M-* > 10(9) M-circle dot) in clusters, obtained in a cosmological simulation, is affected by the interaction with the intracluster medium (ICM). The dynamical state of each elemental parcel of gas is studied us ...

The extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a cosmological forecast

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Timothée Guy Olivier Delubac, Johan Comparat, Yuting Wang, Hanyu Zhang

We present a science forecast for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) survey. Focusing on discrete tracers, we forecast the expected accuracy of the baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO), the redshift-space distortion (RSD) measureme ...

Measuring subhalo mass in redMaPPer clusters with CFHT Stripe 82 Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

We use the shear catalogue from the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey to measure the subhalo masses of satellite galaxies in redMaPPer clusters. Assuming a Chabrier initial mass function and a truncated NFW model for the subhalo mass distribution, we find that the sub ...

Warm-hot baryons comprise 5-10 per cent of filaments in the cosmic web

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Mathilde Jauzac, Céline Tchernin, Richard Massey, Johan Richard

Observations of the cosmic microwave background indicate that baryons account for 5 per cent of the Universe's total energy content(1). In the local Universe, the census of all observed baryons falls short of this estimate by a factor of two(2,3). Cosmolog ...

Large scale structures around medium mass galaxy clusters at intermediate redshift

François Henri Ambroise Rérat

Theory predicts that galaxies are not randomly distributed in the Universe. They form a complex network of filamentary structures, the Cosmic Web, divided in clusters, groups, filaments and walls. This picture has been confirmed by the large galaxy redshif ...
