Infall Regions and Scaling Relations of X-ray Selected Groups
Kenneth Rines, Antonaldo Diaferio
We use the Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to study X-ray-selected galaxy groups and compare their properties to clusters. We search for infall patterns around t…
WMAP5 and the Cluster Mass Function
Kenneth Rines, Antonaldo Diaferio, Priyamvada Natarajan
The recently revised cosmological constraints from the Five-Year WMAP data ameliorate previous tension between cosmological constraints from the microwave background and from clust…
Optical Spectroscopy of Type Ia Supernovae
T. Matheson, R. P. Kirshner, P. Challis +19
We present 432 low-dispersion optical spectra of 32 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that also have well-calibrated light curves. The coverage ranges from 6 epochs to 36 epochs of spect…
Spectroscopic Determination of the Faint End of the Luminosity Function in the Nearby Galaxy Clusters A2199 and Virgo
Kenneth Rines, Margaret J. Geller
We report a new determination of the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function in the nearby clusters Virgo and Abell 2199 using data from SDSS and the Hectospec multifiber spect…
An Extremely Massive Dry Galaxy Merger in a Moderate Redshift Cluster
Kenneth Rines, Rose Finn, Alexey Vikhlinin
We have identified perhaps the largest major galaxy merger ever seen. While analysing Spitzer IRAC images of CL0958+4702, an X-ray selected cluster at z=0.39, we discovered an unus…
The Virial Mass Function of Nearby SDSS Galaxy Clusters
Kenneth Rines, Antonaldo Diaferio, Priyamvada Natarajan
We present a new determination of the cluster mass function and velocity dispersion function in a volume Mpc using the Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital…
