ATCA observations of the MACS-Planck Radio Halo Cluster Project II. Radio observations of an intermediate redshift cluster sample

G. Martinez Aviles, M. Johnston-Hollitt, C. Ferrari +16

A fraction of galaxy clusters host diffuse radio sources whose origins are investigated through multi-wavelength studies of cluster samples. We investigate the presence of diffuse…

Galaxy cluster luminosities and colours, and their dependence on cluster mass and merger state

Sarah L. Mulroy, Sean L. McGee, Steven Gillman +5

We study a sample of 19 galaxy clusters in the redshift range with highly complete spectroscopic membership catalogues (to ) from the Arizona…

The XXL survey: first results and future

M. Pierre, C. Adami, M. Birkinshaw +108

The XXL survey currently covers two 25 sq. deg. patches with XMM observations of ~10ks. We summarise the scientific results associated with the first release of the XXL data set, t…

The XXL survey XV: Evidence for dry merger driven BCG growth in XXL-100-GC X-ray clusters

S. Lavoie, J. P. Willis, J. Democles +33

The growth of brightest cluster galaxies is closely related to the properties of their host cluster. We present evidence for dry mergers as the dominant source of BCG mass growth a…

The XXL Survey: I. Scientific motivations - XMM-Newton observing plan - Follow-up observations and simulation programme

M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, C. Adami +89

We present the XXL Survey, the largest XMM programme totaling some 6.9 Ms to date and involving an international consortium of roughly 100 members. The XXL Survey covers two extrag…

The XXL Survey III. Luminosity-temperature relation of the Bright Cluster Sample

P. A. Giles, B. J. Maughan, F. Pacaud +13

The XXL Survey is the largest homogeneous survey carried out with XMM-Newton. Covering an area of 50 deg, the survey contains several hundred galaxy clusters out to a redshif…

Comparison of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich measurements from Planck and from the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager for 99 galaxy clusters

Y. C. Perrott, M. Olamaie, C. Rumsey +39

We present observations and analysis of a sample of 123 galaxy clusters from the 2013 Planck catalogue of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich sources with the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI), a…

Planck intermediate results. XIII. Constraints on peculiar velocities

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +182

Using \Planck\ data combined with the Meta Catalogue of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies (MCXC), we address the study of peculiar motions by searching for evidence of the kineti…

Planck Intermediate Results. V. Pressure profiles of galaxy clusters from the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect

Planck Collaboration, P. A. R. Ade, N. Aghanim +214

Taking advantage of the all-sky coverage and broad frequency range of the Planck satellite, we study the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) and pressure profiles of 62 nearby massive clusters…

Two fossil groups of galaxies at z~0.4 in the COSMOS: accelerated stellar-mass build-up, different progenitors

D. Pierini, S. Giodini, A. Finoguenov +12

We report on 2 fossil groups of galaxies at z=0.425 and 0.372 discovered in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) area. Selected as X-ray extended sources, they have total masses (M…

Testing adiabatic contraction of dark matter in fossil group candidates

J. Democles, G. W. Pratt, D. Pierini +3

We present deep XMM observations and ESO WFI optical imaging of two X-ray-selected fossil group candidates, RXCJ0216.7-4749 and RXCJ2315.7-0222. Using the X-ray data, we derive tot…
