The nature of filamentary cold gas in the core of the Virgo Cluster
N. Werner, J. B. R. Oonk, R. E. A. Canning +10
We present a multi-wavelength study of the emission-line nebulae located southeast of the nucleus of M87, the central dominant galaxy of the Virgo Cluster. We report the detection…
X-ray Bright Active Galactic Nuclei in Massive Galaxy Clusters I: Number Counts and Spatial Distribution
S. Ehlert, S. W. Allen, W. N. Brandt +5
We present an analysis of the X-ray bright point source population in 43 massive clusters of galaxies observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We have constructed a catalog of…
Weighing the Giants - III. Methods and Measurements of Accurate Galaxy Cluster Weak-Lensing Masses
Douglas E. Applegate, Anja von der Linden, Patrick L. Kelly +7
We report weak-lensing masses for 51 of the most X-ray luminous galaxy clusters known. This cluster sample, introduced earlier in this series of papers, spans redshifts 0.15 < z_cl…
Weighing the Giants II: Improved Calibration of Photometry from Stellar Colors and Accurate Photometric Redshifts
Patrick L. Kelly, Anja von der Linden, Douglas E. Applegate +10
We present improved methods for using stars found in astronomical exposures to calibrate both star and galaxy colors as well as to adjust the instrument flat field. By developing a…
Weighing the Giants - I. Weak-lensing masses for 51 massive galaxy clusters: project overview, data analysis methods and cluster images
Anja von der Linden, Mark T. Allen, Douglas E. Applegate +10
This is the first in a series of papers in which we measure accurate weak-lensing masses for 51 of the most X-ray luminous galaxy clusters known at redshifts 0.15<z<0.7, in order t…
Cl 1103.7-1245 at z=0.96: the highest redshift galaxy cluster in the EDisCS survey
Benedetta Vulcani, Alfonso Aragón-Salamanca, Bianca M. Poggianti +6
We present new spectroscopic observations in a field containing the highest redshift cluster of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We measure galaxy redshifts and determine t…
