The Influence of Concentration and Dynamical State on Scatter in the Galaxy Cluster Mass-Temperature Relation

H. -Y. Yang, P. M. Ricker, P. M. Sutter

Using a hydrodynamics plus N-body simulation of galaxy cluster formation within a large volume and mock Chandra X-ray observations, we study the form and evolution of the intrinsic…

Normalization of the Matter Power Spectrum via Higher-Order Angular Correlations of Luminous Red Galaxies

Ashley J. Ross, Robert J. Brunner, Adam D. Myers

We present a novel technique to measure , by measuring the dependence of the second-order bias of a density field on using two separate techniques. Each technique employ…
