Sunyaev Zel'dovich Effect Observations of Strong Lensing Galaxy Clusters: Probing the Over-Concentration Problem
Megan B. Gralla, Keren Sharon, Michael D. Gladders +23
We have measured the Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) effect for a sample of ten strong lensing selected galaxy clusters using the Sunyaev Zel'dovich Array (SZA). The SZA is sensitive to st…
The Redshift Distribution of Giant Arcs in the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey
Matthew B. Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders, Masamune Oguri +4
We measure the redshift distribution of a sample of 28 giant arcs discovered as a part of the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey (SGAS). Gemini/GMOS-North spectroscopy provides precise redshi…
A GMBCG Galaxy Cluster Catalog of 55,424 Rich Clusters from SDSS DR7
Jiangang Hao, Timothy A. McKay, Benjamin P. Koester +11
We present a large catalog of optically selected galaxy clusters from the application of a new Gaussian Mixture Brightest Cluster Galaxy (GMBCG) algorithm to SDSS Data Release 7 da…
Gemini/GMOS Spectroscopy of 26 Strong Lensing Selected Galaxy Cluster Cores
Matthew B. Bayliss, Joseph F. Hennawi, Michael D. Gladders +4
We present results from a spectroscopic program targeting 26 strong lensing cluster cores that were visually identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Second Red-Se…
A bright, spatially extended lensed galaxy at z = 1.7 behind the cluster RCS2 032727-132623
Eva Wuyts, L. Felipe Barrientos, Michael D. Gladders +7
We present the discovery of an extremely bright and extended lensed source from the second Red Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS2). RCSGA 032727-132609 is spectroscopically confirmed as…
Two Lensed z~3 Lyman Break Galaxies Discovered in the SDSS Giant Arcs Survey
Benjamin P. Koester, Michael D. Gladders, Joseph F. Hennawi +5
We report the discovery of two strongly-lensed z ~ 3 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) discovered as u-band dropouts as part of the SDSS Giant Arcs Survey (SGAS). The first, SGAS J122651…
