Galaxy clusters in the SDSS Stripe 82 based on galaxy photometric redshifts

Florence Durret, Christophe Adami, Emmanuel Bertin +8

Based on a recent photometric redshift galaxy catalogue, we have searched for galaxy clusters in the Stripe~82 region of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey by applying the Adami & MAzure…

Eight New Milky Way Companions Discovered in First-Year Dark Energy Survey Data

The DES Collaboration, K. Bechtol, A. Drlica-Wagner +91

We report the discovery of eight new Milky Way companions in ~1,800 deg^2 of optical imaging data collected during the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Each system is id…

Orientation Bias of Optically Selected Galaxy Clusters and Its Impact on Stacked Weak Lensing Analyses

Jörg P. Dietrich, Yuanyuan Zhang, Jeeseon Song +15

Weak-lensing measurements of the averaged shear profiles of galaxy clusters binned by some proxy for cluster mass are commonly converted to cluster mass estimates under the assumpt…
