Joint Analysis of Cluster Observations: II. Chandra/XMM-Newton X-ray and Weak Lensing Scaling Relations for a Sample of 50 Rich Clusters of Galaxies

A. Mahdavi, H. Hoekstra, A. Babul +3

We present a study of multiwavelength X-ray and weak lensing scaling relations for a sample of 50 clusters of galaxies. Our analysis combines Chandra and XMM-Newton data using an e…

The Environmental Dependence of the Incidence of Galactic Tidal Features

Scott M. Adams, Dennis Zaritsky, David J. Sand +4

In a sample of 54 galaxy clusters (0.04<z<0.15) containing 3551 early-type galaxies suitable for study, we identify those with tidal features both interactively and automatically.…

The Canadian Cluster Comparison Project: weak lensing masses and SZ scaling relations

Henk Hoekstra, Andisheh Mahdavi, Arif Babul +1

The Canadian Cluster Comparison Project is a comprehensive multi-wavelength survey targeting 50 massive X-ray selected clusters of galaxies to examine baryonic tracers of cluster m…

A Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope/Chandra view of IRAS 09104+4109: A type 2 QSO in a cooling flow

Ewan O'Sullivan, Simona Giacintucci, Arif Babul +8

IRAS 09104+4109 is a rare example of a dust enshrouded type 2 QSO in the centre of a cool-core galaxy cluster. Previous observations of this z=0.44 system showed that as well as po…

The Type II Supernova Rate in z~0.1 Galaxy Clusters from the Multi-Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey

M. L. Graham, D. J. Sand, C. J. Bildfell +7

We present 7 spectroscopically confirmed Type II cluster supernovae (SNeII) discovered in the Multi-Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey, a supernova survey targeting 57 low redshift 0.05 <…

Evolution of the Red Sequence Giant to Dwarf Ratio in Galaxy Clusters out to z ~ 0.5

C. Bildfell, H. Hoekstra, A. Babul +9

We analyze deep g' and r' band data of 97 galaxy clusters imaged with MegaCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii telescope. We compute the number of luminous (giant) and faint (dwarf) gal…

The Multi-Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey: type Ia supernova rate measurement in z~0.1 clusters and the late-time delay time distribution

David J. Sand, Melissa L. Graham, Chris Bildfell +8

We describe the Multi-Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey (MENeaCS), designed to measure the cluster Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate in a sample of 57 X-ray selected galaxy clusters, with r…

Intracluster supernovae in the Multi-epoch Nearby Cluster Survey

D. J. Sand, M. L. Graham, C. Bildfell +7

The Multi-Epoch Nearby Cluster Survey (MENeaCS) has discovered twenty-three cluster Type Ia supernovae (SNe) in the 58 X-ray selected galaxy clusters (0.05 < z < 0.15) surveyed. Fo…
