MApping the Most Massive Overdensities Through Hydrogen (MAMMOTH) I: Methodology

Zheng Cai, Xiaohui Fan, Sebastien Peirani +8

Modern cosmology predicts that a galaxy overdensity is associated to a large reservoir of the intergalactic gas, which can be traced by the Ly forest absorption. We have underta…

CLASH-VLT: A Highly Precise Strong Lensing Model of the Galaxy Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (Abell S1063) and Prospects for Cosmography

G. B. Caminha, C. Grillo, P. Rosati +32

We perform a comprehensive study of the total mass distribution of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2248 () with a set of high-precision strong lensing models, which take advantage…

The Detection and Statistics of Giant Arcs Behind CLASH Clusters

Bingxiao Xu, Marc Postman, Massimo Meneghetti +10

We developed an algorithm to find and characterize gravitationally lensed galaxies (arcs) to perform a comparison of the observed and simulated arc abundance. Observations are from…

CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with Spectra of Member Galaxies

I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, B. Sartoris +33

We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the large spectroscopic campaign provided more…

CLASH-VLT: Environment-driven evolution of galaxies in the z=0.209 cluster Abell 209

M. Annunziatella, A. Mercurio, A. Biviano +19

The analysis of galaxy properties and the relations among them and the environment, can be used to investigate the physical processes driving galaxy evolution. We study the cluster…

Planck's Dusty GEMS: Gravitationally lensed high-redshift galaxies discovered with the Planck survey

R. Canameras, N. P. H. Nesvadba, D. Guery +30

We present an analysis of 11 bright far-IR/submm sources discovered through a combination of the Planck survey and follow-up Herschel-SPIRE imaging. Each source has a redshift z=2.…
