Optical-to-virial velocity ratios of local disk galaxies from combined kinematics and galaxy-galaxy lensing

Reinabelle Reyes, Rachel Mandelbaum, James E. Gunn +3

In this paper, we measure the optical-to-virial velocity ratios Vopt/V200c of disk galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) at a mean redshift of <z> = 0.07 and with stellar…

Galaxy subgroups in galaxy clusters

J. D. Cohn

Galaxies which fall into clusters as part of the same infall halo can retain correlations due to their shared origin. N-body simulations are used to study properties of such galaxy…
