CLASH-VLT: Substructure in the galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 from kinematics of galaxy populations

M. Girardi, A. Mercurio, I. Balestra +35

In the effort to understand the link between the structure of galaxy clusters and their galaxy populations, we focus on MACSJ1206.2-0847 at z~0.44 and probe its substructure in the…

CLASH-VLT: Insights on the mass substructures in the Frontier Fields Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 through accurate strong lens modeling

C. Grillo, S. H. Suyu, P. Rosati +25

We present a detailed mass reconstruction and a novel study on the substructure properties in the core of the CLASH and Frontier Fields galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403. We show an…

Intra Cluster Light properties in the CLASH-VLT cluster MACS J1206.2-0847

V. Presotto, M. Girardi, M. Nonino +46

We aim at constraining the assembly history of clusters by studying the intra cluster light (ICL) properties, estimating its contribution to the fraction of baryons in stars, f*, a…

CLASH: Extending galaxy strong lensing to small physical scales with distant sources highly-magnified by galaxy cluster members

C. Grillo, R. Gobat, V. Presotto +35

We present a strong lensing system in which a double source is imaged 5 times by 2 early-type galaxies. We take advantage in this target of the multi-band photometry obtained as pa…

Extreme emission-line galaxies out to z1 in zCOSMOS. I. Sample and characterization of global properties

Ricardo Amorín, E. Pérez-Montero, T. Contini +36

We present a thorough characterization of a large sample of 183 extreme emission-line galaxies (EELGs) at redshift 0.11 < z < 0.93 selected from the 20k zCOSMOS Bright Survey becau…

CLASH-VLT: Constraints on the Dark Matter Equation of State from Accurate Measurements of Galaxy Cluster Mass Profiles

Barbara Sartoris, Andrea Biviano, Piero Rosati +39

A pressureless scenario for the Dark Matter (DM) fluid is a widely adopted hypothesis, despite the absence of a direct observational evidence. According to general relativity, the…
