Linear perturbation theory and structure formation in a Brans-Dicke theory of gravity without dark matter

Lorenzo Gervani, Antonaldo Diaferio, Francesco Pace +1

We investigate the formation of the large-scale cosmic structure in a scalar-tensor theory of gravity belonging to the class of the Brans--Dicke theories. The universe contains bar…

The Blooming Tree Algorithm at Work: Clusters, Filaments and Superclusters in the Field of A2029

Heng Yu, Antonaldo Diaferio

The Blooming Tree (BT) algorithm, based on the hierarchical clustering method, is designed to identify clusters, groups, and substructures from galaxy redshift surveys. We apply th…

Cluster Lensing Mass Inversion (CLUMI+): Combining Dynamics and Weak Lensing around Galaxy Clusters

Keiichi Umetsu, Michele Pizzardo, Antonaldo Diaferio +1

We present CLUMI+, a self-consistent, multiprobe methodology for reconstructing the mass distribution in and around galaxy clusters by combining gravitational lensing and dynamical…

Outer regions of galaxy clusters as a new probe to test modifications to gravity

Minahil Adil Butt, Sandeep Haridasu, Antonaldo Diaferio +4

We apply the caustic technique to samples of galaxy clusters stacked in redshift space to estimate the gravitational potential in the cluster's outer region and test modifications…

The Way to Quench: Galaxy evolution in Abell 2142

Cheng-Gong Qu, Heng Yu, Antonaldo Diaferio +2

We show how the star formation activity of galaxies is progressively inhibited from the outer region to the center of the massive cluster A2142. From an extended spectroscopic reds…

Galaxy cluster mass accretion rates from IllustrisTNG

Michele Pizzardo, Margaret J. Geller, Scott J. Kenyon +2

We use simulated cluster member galaxies from Illustris TNG300-1 to develop a technique for measuring the galaxy cluster mass accretion rate (MAR) that can be applied directly to o…
