CURLING - I. The influence of point-like image approximation on the outcomes of cluster strong lens modelling

Nan Li, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixelized strong lens modelling in galaxy clusters is computationally expensive, ...

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

Richard Massey, David Richard Harvey

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 ...

The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters

Yoan Rappaz, Jennifer Waltraud Schober

Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...

A new step forward in realistic cluster lens mass modelling: analysis of Hubble Frontier Field Cluster Abell S1063 from joint lensing, X-ray, and galaxy kinematics data

Johan Richard, Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Mathilde Jauzac, Benjamin Yvan Alexandre Clement, Benjamin Emmanuel Nicolas Beauchesne

We present a new method to simultaneously and self-consistently model the mass distribution of galaxy clusters that combines constraints from strong lensing features, X-ray emission, and galaxy kinematics measurements. We are able to successfully decompose ...

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 ...

Beyond the ultradeep frontier fields and legacy observations (BUFFALO): a high-resolution strong plus weak-lensing view of Abell 370

David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac

The HST treasury programme BUFFALO provides extended wide-field imaging of the six Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy clusters. Here we present the combined strong and weak-lensing analysis of Abell 370, a massive cluster at z = 0.375. From the reconstructed to ...

The evolution of the Milky Way's thin disc radial metallicity gradient with K2 asteroseismic ages

Saniya Khan

The radial metallicity distribution of the Milky Way's disc is an important observational constraint for models of the formation and evolution of our Galaxy. It informs our understanding of the chemical enrichment of the Galactic disc and the dynamical pro ...

The Local Cluster Survey II: disc-dominated cluster galaxies with suppressed star formation

Pascale Jablonka

We investigate the role of dense environments in suppressing star formation by studying log(10)(M- * / M-?) > 9 . 7 star-forming galaxies in nine clusters from the Local Cluster Survey (0.0137 < z < 0.0433) and a large comparison field sample drawn from th ...

Constraints on the Hubble constant from supernova Refsdal's reappearance

Vivien François Bonvin, Martin Raoul Robert Millon, Mathilde Jauzac, Anja Von der Linden

The gravitationally lensed supernova Refsdal appeared in multiple images produced through gravitational lensing by a massive foreground galaxy cluster. After the supernova appeared in 2014, lens models of the galaxy cluster predicted that an additional ima ...

Elastocapillary menisci mediate interaction of neighboring structures at the surface of a compliant solid

John Martin Kolinski

Surface stress drives long-range elastocapillary interactions at the surface of compliant solids, where it has been observed to mediate interparticle interactions and to alter the transport of liquid drops. We show that such an elastocapillary interaction ...

DESI mock challenge Halo and galaxy catalogues with the bias assignment method

Yu Yu, Cheng Zhao, Ginevra Favole

Context. We present a novel approach to the construction of mock galaxy catalogues for large-scale structure analysis based on the distribution of dark matter halos obtained with effective bias models at the field level. Aims. We aim to produce mock galaxy ...

Spitzer-selected z > 1.3 protocluster candidates in the LSST Deep Drilling Fields

We have identified 189 candidate z > 1.3 protoclusters and clusters in the LSST Deep Drilling Fields. This sample will enable the measurement of the metal enrichment and star formation history of clusters during their early assembly period through the dire ...

Architecture-Controllable Single-Crystal Helical Self-assembly of Small-Molecule Disulfides with Dynamic Chirality

Qixing Zhang, Lukas Pfeifer

Beyond the common supramolecular helical polymers in solutions, controlling single-crystal helical self-assembly with precisely defined chirality and architectures has been challenging. Here, we report that simply merging static homochiral amino acids with ...

Systematic analysis of low-affinity transcription factor binding site clusters in vitro and in vivo establishes their functional relevance

Sebastian Maerkl, Ivan Istomin, Evan James Olson, Shiyu Cheng, Amir Shahein, Maria Lopez Malo

Binding to binding site clusters has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional relevance of low-affinity clusters remains uncertain. We characterized transcription factor binding to low-affinity clusters in vitro and found that transcription fac ...

Do the majority of stars form as gravitationally unbound?

Richard Irving Anderson

Context. Some of the youngest stars (age less than or similar to 10 Myr) are clustered, while many others are observed scattered throughout star forming regions or in complete isolation. It has been intensively debated whether such scattered or isolated st ...

Hydrodynamic synchronization and clustering in ratcheting colloidal matter

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

Ratchet transport systems are widespread in physics and biology; however, the effect of the dispersing medium in the collective dynamics of these out-of-equilibrium systems has been often overlooked. We show that, in a traveling wave magnetic ratchet, long ...

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 ...
