Characterization of a commercial, front-illuminated interline transfer CCD camera for use as a guide camera on a balloon-borne telescope
Paul Clark, Richard Massey, Herrick L. Chang +10
We report results obtained during the characterization of a commercial front-illuminated progressive scan interline transfer CCD camera. We demonstrate that the unmodified camera o…
Reconciling Planck cluster counts and cosmology? Chandra/XMM instrumental calibration and hydrostatic mass bias
Holger Israel, Gerrit Schellenberger, Jukka Nevalainen +2
The mass of galaxy clusters can be inferred from the temperature of their X-ray emitting gas, . Their masses may be underestimated if it is assumed that the gas is…
ICM cooling, AGN feedback and BCG properties of galaxy groups-Five properties where groups differ from clusters
V. Bharadwaj, T. H. Reiprich, G. Schellenberger +3
Using Chandra data for a sample of 26 galaxy groups, we constrained the central cooling times (CCTs) of the ICM and classified the groups as strong cool-core (SCC), weak cool-core…
The 400d Galaxy Cluster Survey weak lensing programme: III: Evidence for consistent WL and X-ray masses at
Holger Israel, Thomas H. Reiprich, Thomas Erben +4
Scaling properties of galaxy cluster observables with mass provide central insights into the processes shaping clusters. Calibrating proxies for cluster mass will be crucial to clu…
An improved model of Charge Transfer Inefficiency and correction algorithm for the Hubble Space Telescope
Richard Massey, Tim Schrabback, Oliver Cordes +7
Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) detectors, widely used to obtain digital imaging, can be damaged by high energy radiation. Degraded images appear blurred, because of an effect known as…
