The strongest gravitational lenses: IV. The order statistics of the largest Einstein radii with cluster mergers
Matthias Redlich, Jean-Claude Waizmann, Matthias Bartelmann
Based on techniques developed in the previous papers of this series, we investigate the impact of galaxy-cluster mergers on the order statistics of the largest Einstein radii. We s…
The strongest gravitational lenses: III. The order statistics of the largest Einstein radii
Jean-Claude Waizmann, Matthias Redlich, Massimo Meneghetti +1
The Einstein radius (ER) of a gravitational lens encodes information about decisive quantities such as halo mass, concentration, triaxiality, and orientation with respect to the ob…
CLASH: Complete Lensing Analysis of the Largest Cosmic Lens MACS J0717.5+3745 and Surrounding Structures
Elinor Medezinski, Keiichi Umetsu, Mario Nonino +35
The galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745 (z=0.55) is the largest known cosmic lens, with complex internal structures seen in deep X-ray, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and dynamical observa…
Order statistics applied to the most massive and most distant galaxy clusters
Jean-Claude Waizmann, Stefano Ettori, Matthias Bartelmann
In this work we present for the first time an analytic framework for calculating the individual and joint distributions of the n-th most massive or n-th highest redshift galaxy clu…
The strongest gravitational lenses: II. Is the large Einstein radius of MACS J0717.5+3745 in conflict with LCDM?
Jean-Claude Waizmann, Matthias Redlich, Matthias Bartelmann
Can the standard cosmological model be questioned on the basis of a single observed extreme galaxy cluster? Usually, the word extreme refers directly to cluster mass, which is not…
The strongest gravitational lenses: I. The statistical impact of cluster mergers
Matthias Redlich, Matthias Bartelmann, Jean-Claude Waizmann +1
For more than a decade now, it has been controversial whether or not the high rate of giant gravitational arcs and the largest observed Einstein radii are consistent with the stand…
On the modelling of the excesses of galaxy clusters over high-mass thresholds
Jean-Claude Waizmann, Stefano Ettori, Lauro Moscardini
In this work we present for the first time an application of the Pareto approach to the modelling of the excesses of galaxy clusters over high-mass thresholds. The distribution of…
An application of extreme value statistics to the most massive galaxy clusters at low and high redshifts
Jean-Claude Waizmann, Stefano Ettori, Lauro Moscardini
In this work we present an application of general extreme value statistics (GEV) to very massive single clusters at high and low redshifts. After introducing the formalism, we appl…
On a novel approach using massive clusters at high redshifts as cosmological probe
J. -C. Waizmann, S. Ettori, L. Moscardini
In this work we propose a novel method for testing the validity of the fiducial LCDM cosmology by measuring the cumulative distribution function of the most massive haloes in a sam…
