Galaxy Clusters Selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in 5 year data from the SPT-3G Main Survey
L. E. Bleem, M. Klein, K. Kornoelje +148
We report a new galaxy cluster catalog, selected using the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect, from 5 years of observations of the SPT-3G Main field. Drawn from arcminute-resol…
Ruminations Upon the Modeling of X-ray Foregrounds, Backgrounds and Faint Sources
Adam B. Mantz, Anthony M. Flores, Taweewat Somboonpanyakul +4
With the goal of extracting as much information as possible from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of faint, diffuse sources such as galaxy clusters, as well as those of future X…
Brightest Cluster Galaxy ellipticity as proxy for halo shape: Orientation bias, assembly bias, and potential selection effects in SZ-selected clusters
Radhakrishnan Srinivasan, Tae-hyeon Shin, Anja von der Linden +93
The orientation of triaxial galaxy clusters with respect to the line-of-sight is expected to be one of the prime sources of scatter and potential bias in optical observables (e.g.,…
The Cluster Evolutionary Reference Ensemble at Low- (CEREAL) Sample of Galaxy Clusters I: X-ray Morphological Properties and Demographics
Laurel White, Michael McDonald, Steven W. Allen +8
With rapid improvements in the assembly of large samples of galaxy clusters, we are approaching the ability to study clusters at . Evolutionary studies comparing these d…
Discovery of a nearby radio relic in the low-mass, merging cluster Abell 4067
Isaac Magolego, Roger P. Deane, Kshitij Thorat +9
Shock waves generated during cluster mergers offer a powerful probe of how large-scale structure grows and evolves in the Universe. As part of the MeerKAT-South Pole Telescope (SPT…
SPT-CL J0417-4748: A Deep Chandra Study of a Relaxed Galaxy Cluster Without Central Star Formation
Taweewat Somboonpanyakul, Adam B. Mantz, Steven W. Allen +7
We present an in-depth Chandra X-ray analysis of the galaxy cluster SPT-CL J04174748 (hereafter SPT J0417), at z = 0.58, with a focus on its thermodynamic properties and the app…
