Tracing Structure: Shape and Centroid Deviations in 39 Strong Lensing Clusters as a Test of Cluster Formation Predictions
Raven Gassis, Matthew B. Bayliss, Keren Sharon +10
Strong lensing galaxy clusters provide a unique and powerful way to test simulation-derived structure predictions that follow from Cold Dark Matter (CDM) cosmology. Specific…
The Chandra Strong Lens Sample: Measuring the Dynamical States and Relaxation Fraction of a Sample of 28 Strong Lensing Selected Galaxy Clusters
Raven Gassis, Matthew B. Bayliss, Michael McDonald +10
We present the results of our dynamical state proxy measurements performed on 28 strong lensing galaxy clusters from the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey (SGAS). Using Chandra ACIS-I/S X-ra…
TEMPLATES: A Robust Outlier Rejection Method for JWST/NIRSpec Integral Field Spectroscopy
Taylor A. Hutchison, Brian D. Welch, Jane R. Rigby +13
We describe a custom outlier rejection algorithm for JWST/NIRSpec integral field spectroscopy. This method uses a layered sigma clipping approach that adapts clipping thresholds ba…
JWST Early Release Science Program TEMPLATES: Targeting Extremely Magnified Panchromatic Lensed Arcs and their Extended Star formation
Jane R. Rigby, Joaquin D. Vieira, Kedar A. Phadke +33
This paper gives an overview of TEMPLATES, a JWST Early Release Science program that targeted four extremely bright, gravitationally lensed galaxies: two extremely dusty, two with…
Understanding Shape and Centroid Deviations in 39 Strong Lensing Galaxy Clusters in Various Dynamical States
Raven Gassis, Matthew B. Bayliss, Keren Sharon +8
Through observational tests of strong lensing galaxy clusters, we can test simulation derived structure predictions that follow from Cold Dark Matter (CDM) cosmology. The sh…
