The Connection between Halo Assembly History and the Stellar Distribution I: The Central Stellar Mass - Richness Plane

Shuo Xu, Song Huang, Alexie Leauthaud +4

Recent observations suggest intrinsic links between the stellar components of massive halos and their assembly histories. Using massive halos with $\log[M_{\rm halo}/M_\odot] \geq…

Cluster finding with outskirt stellar masses and percolation

Pablo Avalos, Conghao Zhou, Tesla Jeltema +5

The abundance of galaxy clusters is a powerful cosmological probe, but optical cluster cosmology is limited by selection systematics, in particular the projection effects that affe…

Reaching for the Edge II: Stellar Halos out to Large Radii as a Tracer of Dark Matter Halo Mass

Katya Leidig, Benedikt Diemer, Song Huang +3

The diffuse outskirts of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) encode valuable information about the assembly history and mass of their host dark matter halos. However, the low surface…

Relationship between 2D and 3D Galaxy Stellar Mass and Correlations with Halo Mass

Conghao Zhou, Alexie Leauthaud, Shuo Xu +8

Recent studies suggest that the stars in the outer regions of massive galaxies trace halo mass better than the inner regions and that an annular stellar mass provides a low scatter…

The Outskirt Stellar Mass of Low-Redshift Massive Galaxies is an Excellent Halo Mass Proxy in Illustris/IllustrisTNG Simulations

Shuo Xu, Song Huang, Alexie Leauthaud +4

Recent observations suggest that the extended stellar halos of low-redshift massive galaxies are tightly connected to the assembly of their dark matter halos. In this paper, we use…

VERTICO: The Virgo Environment Traced In CO Survey

Toby Brown, Christine D. Wilson, Nikki Zabel +33

We present the Virgo Environment Traced in CO (VERTICO) survey, a new effort to map CO(), CO(), and CO() in 51 Virgo Cluster galaxies with the A…

X-ray, UV, and Radio Timing Observations of the Radio Galaxy 3C 120

Alan P. Marscher, Svetlana G. Jorstad, Karen E. Williamson +7

We report the results of monitoring of the radio galaxy 3C 120 with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, Very Long Baseline Array, and Metsähovi Radio Observatory. The UV-optical co…
