CFHTLenS: A Weak Lensing Shear Analysis of the 3D-Matched-Filter Galaxy Clusters

Jes Ford, Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Martha Milkeraitis +17

We present the cluster mass-richness scaling relation calibrated by a weak lensing analysis of >18000 galaxy cluster candidates in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey…

Cluster Magnification & the Mass-Richness Relation in CFHTLenS

Jes Ford, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Ludovic Van Waerbeke +4

Gravitational lensing magnification is measured with a significance of 9.7 sigma on a large sample of galaxy clusters in the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS…

Magnification as a Probe of Dark Matter Halos at high redshift

Ludovic Van Waerbeke, Hendrik Hildebrandt, Jes Ford +1

We propose a new approach for measuring the mass profile and shape of groups and clusters of galaxies, which uses lensing magnification of distant background galaxies. The main adv…

Large-scale Structure and Dynamics of the Most X-ray Luminous Galaxy Cluster Known -- RX J1347-1145

Ting Lu, David G. Gilbank, Michael L. Balogh +6

We present photometric, spectroscopic and weak lensing analysis of the large-scale structure and dynamics of the most X-ray luminous galaxy cluster known, RX J1347-1145, at z=0.451…

3D-Matched-Filter Galaxy Cluster Finder I: Selection Functions and CFHTLS Deep Clusters

M. Milkeraitis, L. Van Waerbeke, C. Heymans +3

We present an optimised galaxy cluster finder, 3D-Matched-Filter (3D-MF), which utilises galaxy cluster radial profiles, luminosity functions and redshift information to detect gal…
