The behaviour of dark matter associated with 4 bright cluster galaxies in the 10kpc core of Abell 3827
Richard Massey, Liliya Williams, Renske Smit +20
Galaxy cluster Abell 3827 hosts the stellar remnants of four almost equally bright elliptical galaxies within a core of radius 10kpc. Such corrugation of the stellar distribution i…
Galaxy alignments: Theory, modelling and simulations
Alina Kiessling, Marcello Cacciato, Benjamin Joachimi +8
The shapes of galaxies are not randomly oriented on the sky. During the galaxy formation and evolution process, environment has a strong influence, as tidal gravitational fields in…
Galaxy alignments: Observations and impact on cosmology
Donnacha Kirk, Michael L. Brown, Henk Hoekstra +10
Galaxy shapes are not randomly oriented, rather they are statistically aligned in a way that can depend on formation environment, history and galaxy type. Studying the alignment of…
Galaxy alignments: An overview
Benjamin Joachimi, Marcello Cacciato, Thomas D. Kitching +8
The alignments between galaxies, their underlying matter structures, and the cosmic web constitute vital ingredients for a comprehensive understanding of gravity, the nature of mat…
Weak lensing reconstructions in 2D & 3D: implications for cluster studies
Adrienne Leonard, Francois Lanusse, Jean-Luc Starck
We compare the efficiency with which 2D and 3D weak lensing mass mapping techniques are able to detect clusters of galaxies using two state-of-the-art mass reconstruction technique…
