CLASH-VLT: A Highly Precise Strong Lensing Model of the Galaxy Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (Abell S1063) and Prospects for Cosmography
G. B. Caminha, C. Grillo, P. Rosati +32
We perform a comprehensive study of the total mass distribution of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2248 () with a set of high-precision strong lensing models, which take advantage…
The Detection and Statistics of Giant Arcs Behind CLASH Clusters
Bingxiao Xu, Marc Postman, Massimo Meneghetti +10
We developed an algorithm to find and characterize gravitationally lensed galaxies (arcs) to perform a comparison of the observed and simulated arc abundance. Observations are from…
A Response to Elvis' 2015 Critique of the AURA Report "From Cosmic Birth to Living Earths"
Sara Seager, Julianne J. Dalcanton, Marc Postman +2
To ensure progress in astronomy over the coming decades, the key questions are "what facilities will we build, and when?" Toward this end, the Association of Universities for Resea…
CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with Spectra of Member Galaxies
I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, B. Sartoris +33
We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the large spectroscopic campaign provided more…
Star Formation Activity in CLASH Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Kevin Fogarty, Marc Postman, Thomas Connor +2
The CLASH X-ray selected sample of 20 galaxy clusters contains ten brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) that exhibit significant (5 ) extinction-corrected star formation rates (…
From Cosmic Birth to Living Earths: The Future of UVOIR Space Astronomy
Julianne Dalcanton, Sara Seager, Suzanne Aigrain +14
For the first time in history, humans have reached the point where it is possible to construct a revolutionary space-based observatory that has the capability to find dozens of Ear…
