Revealing the properties of dark matter in the merging cluster MACSJ0025.4-1222

Maruša Bradač, Steven W. Allen, Tommaso Treu +6

We constrain the physical nature of dark matter using the newly identified massive merging galaxy cluster MACSJ0025.4-1222. As was previously shown by the example of the Bullet Clu…

The evolution of the brightest cluster galaxies since z~1 from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS)

I. M. Whiley, A. Aragon-Salamanca, G. De Lucia +13

[Abridged] We present K-band data for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) from the ESO Distant Cluster Survey. These data are combined with photometry from Aragon-Salamanca et al…

Spectroscopy of clusters in the ESO distant cluster survey (EDisCS).II. Redshifts, velocity dispersions, and substructure for clusters in the last 15 fields

Bo Milvang-Jensen, Stefan Noll, Claire Halliday +17

AIMS. We present spectroscopic observations of galaxies in 15 survey fields as part of the ESO Distant Cluster Survey (EDisCS). We determine the redshifts and velocity dispersions…

Radio loud AGN and the L_X - σrelation of galaxy groups and clusters

Shiyin Shen, Guinevere Kauffmann, Anja von der Linden +2

We use the ROSAT All-Sky Survey to study the X-ray properties of a sample of 625 groups and clusters of galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We stack clusters with…

On the prevalence of radio-loud AGN in brightest cluster galaxies: implications for AGN heating of cooling flows

P. N. Best, A. von der Linden, G. Kauffmann +2

(Abridged) The prevalence of radio-loud AGN activity in present-day massive halos is determined using a sample of 625 nearby groups and clusters from the SDSS. Brightest group and…

How special are Brightest Group and Cluster Galaxies?

Anja von der Linden, Philip N. Best, Guinevere Kauffmann +1

We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to construct a sample of 625 brightest group and cluster galaxies (BCGs) together with control samples of non-BCGs matched in stellar mass, reds…
