Dark Matter and Baryons in the Most X-ray Luminous and Merging Galaxy Cluster RX J1347.5-1145
Maruša Bradač, Tim Schrabback, Thomas Erben +12
The galaxy cluster RX J1347-1145 is one of the most X-ray luminous and most massive clusters known. Its extreme mass makes it a prime target for studying issues addressing cluster…
Direct Observation of Cosmic Strings via their Strong Gravitational Lensing Effect: I. Predictions for High Resolution Imaging Surveys
Maria Alice Gasparini, Phil Marshall, Tommaso Treu +2
We use current theoretical estimates for the density of long cosmic strings to predict the number of strong gravitational lensing events in astronomical imaging surveys as a functi…
Analytic models of plausible gravitational lens potentials
Edward A. Baltz, Phil Marshall, Masamune Oguri
Gravitational lenses on galaxy scales are plausibly modelled as having ellipsoidal symmetry and a universal dark matter density profile, with a Sersic profile to describe the distr…
Strong and weak lensing united III: Measuring the mass distribution of the merging galaxy cluster 1E0657-56
Marusa Bradac, Douglas Clowe, Anthony H. Gonzalez +7
The galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 (z = 0.296) is remarkably well-suited for addressing outstanding issues in both galaxy evolution and fundamental physics. We present a reconstruction o…
The SNAP Strong Lens Survey
Phil Marshall, Roger Blandford, Masao Sako
Basic considerations of lens detection and identification indicate that a wide field survey of the types planned for weak lensing and Type Ia SNe with SNAP are close to optimal for…
Very Small Array observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect in nearby galaxy clusters
Katy Lancaster, Ricardo Genova-Santos, Nelson Falcon +10
We present VSA observations (~34GHz) on scales ~20 arcmin towards a complete, X-ray-flux-limited sample of seven clusters at redshift z<0.1. Four have significant SZ detections in…
