Weak lensing surveys and the intrinsic correlation of galaxy ellipticities

Rupert A. C. Croft, Chris Metzler

We explore the possibility that an intrinsic correlation between galaxy ellipticities arising during the galaxy formation process may account for part of the shear signal recently…

The Effect of the Cosmic Web on Cluster Weak Lensing Mass Estimates

Christopher A. Metzler, Martin White, Chris Loken

In modern hierarchical theories of structure formation, rich clusters of galaxies form at the vertices of a weblike distribution of matter, with filaments emanating from them to la…

Weak Gravitational Lensing and Cluster Mass Estimates

Christopher A. Metzler, Martin White, Michael Norman +1

Hierarchical theories of structure formation predict that clusters of galaxies should be embedded in a web like structure, with filaments emanating from them to large distances. Th…

The Cluster SZ -- Mass Correlation

Christopher A. Metzler

N-body + hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy clusters are used to demonstrate a correlation between galaxy cluster mass and the strength of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect induce…

Simulations Of Galaxy Clusters With And Without Winds: I. The Structure Of Clusters

Christopher A. Metzler, August E. Evrard

We use gas dynamic simulations to explore the effects of galactic winds on galaxy clusters. Two ensembles of 18 realizations, spanning a decade in temperature, are evolved with and…

Mass Estimates of X-Ray Clusters

August E. Evrard, Christopher A. Metzler, Julio F. Navarro

We use cosmological gas dynamic simulations to investigate the accuracy of galaxy cluster mass estimates based on X-ray observations. The experiments follow the formation of cluste…

The Velocity Dispersion -- Temperature Correlation from a Limited Cluster Sample

Christina M. Bird, Richard F. Mushotzky, Christopher A. Metzler

Most studies of correlations between X-ray and optical properties of galaxy clusters have used the largest samples of data available, regardless of the morphological types of clust…

A Simulation of the Intracluster Medium with Feedback from Cluster Galaxies

Christopher A. Metzler, August E. Evrard

The formation and evolution of an X--ray cluster is studied using a 3--D N-body + hydrodynamical simulation which includes feedback of energy and iron from cluster galaxies. The di…
