LoVoCCS. III. Third Generation Pipeline & The Hercules Supercluster
Anthony M. Englert, Shenming Fu, Ian Dell'Antonio +29
The Local Volume Complete Cluster Survey (LoVoCCS) is a volume-complete survey of over one-hundred nearby (), X-ray luminous ($L_{500} > 10^{44} \text{ erg s}^{-1}…
Accurate Galaxy Cluster Shear and Mass Calibration for LSST with AnaCal
Conghao Zhou, Xiangchong Li, Hao-Yi Wu +12
The observed abundance of galaxy clusters as a function of mass and redshift provides a powerful route to precision cosmology; a key challenge for cluster cosmology is to establish…
Constraining Galaxy Cluster Triaxiality via Weak Lensing -- I. Preparation for the Rubin Data Beyond Leading Order
Shenming Fu, Radhakrishnan Srinivasan, Tae-hyeon Shin +13
The 3D mass distributions of galaxy clusters are generally triaxial, a geometry that is difficult to constrain from projected observations. In this work, we measure the projected h…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 1
Vera C Rubin Observatory Team, Tatiana Acero Cuellar, Emily Acosta +325
We present Rubin Data Preview 1 DP1, the first data from the NSF DOE Vera C Rubin Observatory, comprising raw and calibrated single epoch images, coadds, difference images, detecti…
Measurement of the Half-Light Radius for the Tucana Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Pei-Jun Huang, Ian Dell'Antonio, Philip LaDuca +2
We present a new measurement of the half-light radius of the Tucana Dwarf galaxy, based on the combination of wider, deeper imaging conducted as part of the Local Volume Complete C…
The Intracluster Light of Abell 3667: Unveiling an Optical Bridge in LSST Precursor Data
Anthony Englert, Ian Dell'Antonio, Mireia Montes
Intracluster light, the diffuse glow of stars stripped from galaxies during a cluster's formation, is an established tracer of a cluster's dynamical history. The upcoming Vera C. R…
