Resurrecting the Red from the Dead: Optical Properties of BCGs in X-ray Luminous Clusters
C. Bildfell, H. Hoekstra, A. Babul +1
We present measurements of surface brightness and colour profiles for the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) in a sample of 48 X-ray luminous galaxy clusters. These data were obtain…
Evidence for Non-Hydrostatic Gas from the Cluster X-ray to Lensing Mass Ratio
A. Mahdavi, H. Hoekstra, A. Babul +1
Using a uniform analysis procedure, we measure spatially resolved weak gravitational lensing and hydrostatic X-ray masses for a sample of 18 clusters of galaxies. We find a radial…
Virial masses and the baryon fraction in galaxies
H. Hoekstra, B. C. Hsieh, H. K. C. Yee +2
We have measured the weak lensing signal as a function of restframe luminosity for a sample of `isolated' galaxies. These results are based on four-band photometry from the Red-Seq…
Dealing with systematics in cosmic shear studies: new results from the VIRMOS-Descart Survey
L. Van Waerbeke, Y. Mellier, H. Hoekstra
We present a reanalysis of the VIRMOS-Descart weak lensing data, with a particular focus on different corrections for the variation of the point spread function anisotropy (PSF) ac…
