Exemplary Merging Clusters II: XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray Observations of MACS J1752.0+4440 and ZwCl 1856.8+6616
K. HyeongHan, K. Finner, W. Lee +10
Using deep XMM-Newton and Chandra observations, we compare the double-radio-relic galaxy cluster mergers MACS J1752.0+4440 and ZwCl 1856.8+6616. Both are 1:1 mass-ratio mergers wit…
Toward Detecting the Moving Lens Effect with Optical Spectroscopy
David Wittman, Rodrigo Stancioli, Christopher Hopp
Relativity predicts that sky-plane motion of a gravitational lens changes the wavelengths of lensed photons. This moving lens effect is orders of magnitude smaller than cosmologica…
X-SORTER (X-ray Survey Of meRging clusTErs in Redmapper): X-ray and Spectroscopic Characterization of 12 Optically Selected Galaxy Cluster Merger Candidates
Christopher Hopp, David Wittman, Rodrigo Stancioli +3
Merging galaxy clusters offer a unique probe of dark matter (DM) interactions through the spatial offsets between galaxies, the intracluster medium, and the DM halo. Systems that a…
A Very Rich Bimodal Galaxy Cluster Merger: RXC J0032.1+1808
David Wittman, Rodrigo Stancioli, Faik Bouhrik +3
The galaxy cluster RXC J0032.1+1808 has been well-studied with optical imaging and gravitational lensing mass maps, both of which reveal an elongated morphology in the north-south…
Discovery and Multi-Wavelength Analysis of a New Dissociative Galaxy Merger: The Champagne Cluster
Faik Bouhrik, Rodrigo Stancioli, David Wittman
We report the discovery of a new binary galaxy cluster merger, the Champagne Cluster (RM J130558.9+263048.4), using a detection method that identifies dynamically active clusters i…
Weak-Lensing Characterization of the Dark Matter in 29 Merging Clusters that Exhibit Radio Relics
Kyle Finner, M. James Jee, Hyejeon Cho +5
We present a multiwavelength analysis of 29 merging galaxy clusters that exhibit radio relics. For each merging system, we perform a weak-lensing analysis on Subaru optical imaging…
