Where are the Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs)? Using correlation measurements and lensing to relate LRGs to dark matter halos

Chiaki Hikage, Rachel Mandelbaum, Masahiro Takada +1

Nonlinear redshift-space distortions, the Finger-of-God (FoG) effect, can complicate the interpretation of the galaxy power spectrum. Here, we demonstrate the method proposed by Hi…

Subaru weak-lensing measurement of a z = 0.81 cluster discovered by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Survey

Hironao Miyatake, Atsushi J. Nishizawa, Masahiro Takada +25

We present a Subaru weak lensing measurement of ACT-CL J0022.2-0036, one of the most luminous, high-redshift (z=0.81) Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) clusters discovered in the 268 deg^2 e…

Cosmological parameter constraints from galaxy-galaxy lensing and galaxy clustering with the SDSS DR7

Rachel Mandelbaum, Anze Slosar, Tobias Baldauf +5

Recent studies have shown that the cross-correlation coefficient between galaxies and dark matter is very close to unity on scales outside a few virial radii of galaxy halos, indep…

Separating intrinsic alignment and galaxy-galaxy lensing

Jonathan Blazek, Rachel Mandelbaum, Uros Seljak +1

The coherent physical alignment of galaxies is an important systematic for gravitational lensing studies as well as a probe of the physical mechanisms involved in galaxy formation…
