A Weak-Lensing Mass Reconstruction of the Large-Scale Filament Feeding the Massive Galaxy Cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745
Mathilde Jauzac, Eric Jullo, Jean-Paul Kneib +6
We report the first weak-lensing detection of a large-scale filament funneling matter onto the core of the massive galaxy cluster MACSJ0717.5+3745. Our analysis is based on a mosai…
Investigating Emission Line Galaxy Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope
Johan Comparat, Jean-Paul Kneib, Stephanie Escoffier +22
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the power spectrum of galaxies provides a standard ruler to probe the accelerated expansion of the Universe. The current surveys co…
Environmental effects in the interaction and merging of galaxies in zCOSMOS survey
P. Kampczyk, S. J. Lilly, the zCOSMOS Collaboration
The zCOSMOS-bright 10k spectroscopic sample reveals a strong environmental dependence of close kinematic galaxy pair fractions in the redshift range 0.2 < z < 1. The fraction of cl…
The Correlated Formation Histories of Massive Galaxies and Their Dark Matter Halos
Jeremy L. Tinker, Matthew R. George, Alexie Leauthaud +5
Using observations in the COSMOS field, we report an intriguing correlation between the star formation activity of massive (~10^{11.4}\msol) central galaxies, their stellar masses,…
Galaxies in X-ray Groups. II. A Weak Lensing Study of Halo Centering
Matthew R. George, Alexie Leauthaud, Kevin Bundy +7
Locating the centers of dark matter halos is critical for understanding the mass profiles of halos as well as the formation and evolution of the massive galaxies that they host. Th…
