Evidence for a thermal pressure deficit in galaxy groups from the tSZ effect and weak lensing

Jared Siegel, Alexandra Amon, Jenny E. Greene +3

Measurements of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect have yet to form a consistent picture of the thermodynamic state of the gas in the intracluster medium: their interpreta…

Cosmological constraining power of the redshifts, heights, and angular clustering of weak gravitational lensing peaks

Jeger C. Broxterman, Matthieu Schaller, Ian G. McCarthy +8

Weak gravitational lensing (WL) peaks probe non-Gaussian information of the large-scale distribution of matter that is not captured by two-point lensing statistics. We study the co…
