Clusters and Groups of Galaxies in the Simulated Local Universe
L. Casagrande, A. Diaferio
We compare the properties of galaxy groups extracted from the Updated Zwicky Catalogue (UZC) with those of groups extracted from N-body simulations of the local Universe, in a Lamb…
The Virial Mass Function of Nearby SDSS Galaxy Clusters
Kenneth Rines, Antonaldo Diaferio, Priyamvada Natarajan
We present a new determination of the cluster mass function and velocity dispersion function in a volume Mpc using the Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital…
On the efficiency and reliability of cluster mass estimates based on member galaxies
A. Biviano, G. Murante, S. Borgani +3
We study the efficiency and reliability of cluster mass estimators that are based on the projected phase-space distribution of galaxies in a cluster region. To this aim, we analyse…
Systematics in the X-ray Cluster Mass Estimators
E. Rasia, S. Ettori, L. Moscardini +6
We examine the systematics affecting the X-ray mass estimators applied to a set of five simulated galaxy clusters. They have been processed through the X-ray Map Simulator, X-MAS,…
CIRS: Cluster Infall Regions in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey I. Infall Patterns and Mass Profiles
Kenneth Rines, Antonaldo Diaferio
We use the Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to test the ubiquity of infall patterns around galaxy clusters and measure cluster mass profiles to large radii. We m…
