Has inflation really solved the problems of flatness and absence of relics?

Richard Lieu

Among the three cosmological enigma solved by the theory of inflation, {\it viz.} (a) large scale flatness, (b) absence of monopoles and strings, and (c) structure formation, the f…

Chandra Measurements of a Complete Sample of X-ray Luminous Galaxy Clusters: the Gas Mass Fraction

David Landry, Massimiliano Bonamente, Paul Giles +2

We present Chandra X-ray measurements of the gas mass fraction out to r500 for a complete sample of the 35 most luminous clusters from the Brightest Cluster Sample and the Extended…

The Bullet cluster at its best: weighing stars, gas and dark matter

D. Paraficz, J. -P. Kneib, J. Richard +4

We present a new strong lensing mass reconstruction of the Bullet cluster (1E 0657-56) at z=0.296, based on WFC3 and ACS HST imaging and VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy. The strong lensing…

Chandra X-ray observations of Abell 1835 to the virial radius

M. Bonamente, D. Landry, B. Maughan +3

We report the first Chandra detection of emission out to the virial radius in the cluster Abell 1835 at z=0.253. Our analysis of the soft X-ray surface brightness shows that emissi…

ChAInGeS: The Chandra Arp Interacting Galaxies Survey

Beverly J. Smith, Douglas A. Swartz, Olivia Miller +3

We have conducted a statistical analysis of the ultra-luminous X-ray point sources (ULXs; L(X) >= 10^39 erg/s) in a sample of galaxies selected from the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galax…

CARMA Measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in RXJ1347.5-1145

Thomas J. Plagge, Daniel P. Marrone, Zubair Abdulla +10

We demonstrate the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect imaging capabilities of the Combined Array for Research in Millimeter-wave Astronomy (CARMA) by presenting an SZ map of the galaxy…

Joint analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev Zel'dovich observations of galaxy clusters using an analytic model of the intra-cluster medium

Nicole Hasler, Esra Bulbul, Massimiliano Bonamente +19

We perform a joint analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect data using an analytic model that describes the gas properties of galaxy clusters. The joint analysis allows…
