Splashback Shells of Cold Dark Matter Halos
Philip Mansfield, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Benedikt Diemer
The density field in the outskirts of dark matter halos is discontinuous due to a caustic formed by matter at its first apocenter after infall. In this paper, we present an algorit…
Lensing Constraints on the Mass Profile Shape and the Splashback Radius of Galaxy Clusters
Keiichi Umetsu, Benedikt Diemer
The lensing signal around galaxy clusters can, in principle, be used to test detailed predictions for their average mass profile from numerical simulations. However, the intrinsic…
Forward Modeling of Large-Scale Structure: An open-source approach with Halotools
Andrew Hearin, Duncan Campbell, Erik Tollerud +11
We present the first stable release of Halotools (v0.2), a community-driven Python package designed to build and test models of the galaxy-halo connection. Halotools provides a mod…
Detection of the Splashback Radius and Halo Assembly bias of Massive Galaxy Clusters
Surhud More, Hironao Miyatake, Masahiro Takada +10
We show that the projected number density profiles of SDSS photometric galaxies around galaxy clusters displays strong evidence for the splashback radius, a sharp halo edge corresp…
