Dynamical cluster masses from photometric surveys

Omar Contigiani, Henk Hoekstra, Margot M. Brouwer +5

The masses of galaxy clusters can be measured using data obtained exclusively from wide photometric surveys in one of two ways: directly from the amplitude of the weak lensing sign…

Unifying gravitational waves and dark energy

Alice Garoffolo, Omar Contigiani

We present a unifying treatment for metric and scalar perturbations across different energy regimes in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. To do so, we introduce two connected symme…

Learning how to surf: Reconstructing the propagation and origin of gravitational waves with Gaussian Processes

Guadalupe Cañas-Herrera, Omar Contigiani, Valeri Vardanyan

Soon, the combination of electromagnetic and gravitational signals will open the door to a new era of gravitational-wave (GW) cosmology. It will allow us to test the propagation of…

The mass-size relation of galaxy clusters

O. Contigiani, Y. M. Bahé, H. Hoekstra

The outskirts of accreting dark matter haloes exhibit a sudden drop in density delimiting their multi-stream region. Due to the dynamics of accretion, the location of this physical…

Lensing efficiency for gravitational wave mergers

O. Contigiani

We gain insight into the effects of gravitational lensing on the estimated distribution of merging binaries observed through gravitational waves. We quantify the efficiency of magn…

Cross-correlation of the astrophysical gravitational-wave background with galaxy clustering

Guadalupe Cañas-Herrera, Omar Contigiani, Valeri Vardanyan

We investigate the correlation between the distribution of galaxies and the predicted gravitational-wave background of astrophysical origin. We show that the large angular scale an…
