Evolution in cluster cores since z~1

Claire Burke, Chris Collins, John Stott +1

A large fraction of the stellar mass in galaxy clusters is thought to be contained in the diffuse low surface brightness intracluster light (ICL). Being bound to the gravitational…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Physical Properties of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Clusters on the Celestial Equator

Felipe Menanteau, Cristóbal Sifón, L. Felipe Barrientos +28

We present the optical and X-ray properties of 68 galaxy clusters selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect at 148 GHz by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Our sample, from a…

Subaru weak-lensing measurement of a z = 0.81 cluster discovered by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Survey

Hironao Miyatake, Atsushi J. Nishizawa, Masahiro Takada +25

We present a Subaru weak lensing measurement of ACT-CL J0022.2-0036, one of the most luminous, high-redshift (z=0.81) Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) clusters discovered in the 268 deg^2 e…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Data Characterization and Map Making

Rolando Dünner, Matthew Hasselfield, Tobias A. Marriage +71

We present a description of the data reduction and mapmaking pipeline used for the 2008 observing season of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). The data presented here at 148 GH…

Herschel observations of a z~2 stellar mass selected galaxy sample drawn from the GOODS NICMOS Survey

M. Hilton, C. J. Conselice, I. G. Roseboom +28

We present a study of the far-IR properties of a stellar mass selected sample of 1.5 < z < 3 galaxies with log(M_*/M_sun) > 9.5 drawn from the GOODS NICMOS Survey (GNS), the deepes…

Measurement of the intracluster light at z ~ 1

Claire Burke, Chris A. Collins, John P. Stott +1

A significant fraction of the total photospheric light in nearby galaxy clusters is thought to be contained within the diffuse intracluster light (ICL), which extends 100s of kpc f…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Relation Between Galaxy Cluster Optical Richness and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

Neelima Sehgal, Graeme Addison, Nick Battaglia +33

We present the measured Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) flux from 474 optically-selected MaxBCG clusters that fall within the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Equatorial survey region. Th…

The XMM Cluster Survey: The interplay between the brightest cluster galaxy and the intra-cluster medium via AGN feedback

John P. Stott, Ryan C. Hickox, Alastair C. Edge +16

Using a sample of 123 X-ray clusters and groups drawn from the XMM-Cluster Survey first data release, we investigate the interplay between the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), its b…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: A Measurement of the Thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Using the Skewness of the CMB Temperature Distribution

Michael J. Wilson, Blake D. Sherwin, J. Colin Hill +35

We present a detection of the unnormalized skewness <T^3> induced by the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) effect in filtered Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) 148 GHz cosmic microw…

Evidence of Galaxy Cluster Motions with the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect

Nick Hand, Graeme E. Addison, Eric Aubourg +55

Using high-resolution microwave sky maps made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, we for the first time present strong evidence for motions of galaxy clusters and groups via microw…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Dynamical Masses and Scaling Relations for a Sample of Massive Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Selected Galaxy Clusters

Cristóbal Sifón, Felipe Menanteau, Matthew Hasselfield +33

We present the first dynamical mass estimates and scaling relations for a sample of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) selected galaxy clusters. The sample consists of 16 massive clus…
