The XXL survey XV: Evidence for dry merger driven BCG growth in XXL-100-GC X-ray clusters
S. Lavoie, J. P. Willis, J. Democles +33
The growth of brightest cluster galaxies is closely related to the properties of their host cluster. We present evidence for dry mergers as the dominant source of BCG mass growth a…
Weak lensing study of 16 DAFT/FADA clusters: substructures and filaments
Nicolas Martinet, Douglas Clowe, Florence Durret +7
While our current cosmological model places galaxy clusters at the nodes of a filament network (the cosmic web), we still struggle to detect these filaments at high redshifts. We p…
The XXL Survey: VI. The 1000 brightest X-ray point sources
S. Fotopoulou, F. Pacaud, S. Paltani +36
X-ray extragalactic surveys are ideal laboratories for the study of the evolution and clustering of active galactic nuclei (AGN). The XXL Survey spans two fields of a combined 50 $…
The XXL Survey VIII: MUSE characterisation of intracluster light in a z0.53 cluster of galaxies
C. Adami, E. Pompei, T. Sadibekova +11
Within a cluster, gravitational effects can lead to the removal of stars from their parent galaxies. Gas hydrodynamical effects can additionally strip gas and dust from galaxies. T…
