Weak-lensing mass bias in merging galaxy clusters
Wonki Lee, Sangjun Cha, M. James Jee +6
Although weak lensing (WL) is a powerful method to estimate a galaxy cluster mass without any dynamical assumptions, a model bias can arise when the cluster density profile departs…
Detectability of strongly lensed gravitational waves using model-independent image parameters
Saif Ali, Evangelos Stoikos, Evan Meade +2
Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves (GWs) occurs when the GWs from a compact binary system travel near a massive object. The mismatch between a lensed signal and un…
The structure of cluster merger shocks: turbulent width and the electron heating timescale
H. R. Russell, P. E. J. Nulsen, D. Caprioli +10
We present a new 2 Ms Chandra observation of the cluster merger Abell 2146, which hosts two huge M~2 shock fronts each ~500 kpc across. For the first time, we resolve and measure t…
Constraining Merging Galaxy Clusters with X-ray and Lensing Simulations and Observations: The case of Abell 2146
Urmila Chadayammuri, John ZuHone, Paul Nulsen +5
Galaxy cluster mergers are a powerful laboratory for testing cosmological and astrophysical models. However, interpreting individual merging clusters depends crucially on their mer…
The impact of baryonic physics and massive neutrinos on weak lensing peak statistics
Matthew Fong, Miyoung Choi, Victoria Catlett +5
We study the impact of baryonic processes and massive neutrinos on weak lensing peak statistics that can be used to constrain cosmological parameters. We use the BAHAMAS suite of c…
Prospects for Determining the Mass Distributions of Galaxy Clusters on Large Scales Using Weak Gravitational Lensing
M. Fong, R. Bowyer, A. Whitehead +4
For more than two decades, the Navarro, Frenk, and White (NFW) model has stood the test of time; it has been used to describe the distribution of mass in galaxy clusters out to the…
