Cross-correlation Weak Lensing of SDSS galaxy Clusters II: Cluster Density Profiles and the Mass--Richness Relation
David E. Johnston, Erin S. Sheldon, Risa H. Wechsler +7
We interpret and model the statistical weak lensing measurements around 130,000 groups and clusters of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey presented by Sheldon et al. 2007 (Pa…
Effects of Selection and Covariance on X-ray Scaling Relations of Galaxy Clusters
B. Nord, R. Stanek, E. Rasia +1
We explore how the behavior of galaxy cluster scaling relations are affected by flux-limited selection biases and intrinsic covariance among observable properties. Our models presu…
Optically-Selected Cluster Catalogs as a Precision Cosmology Tool
Eduardo Rozo, Risa H. Wechsler, Benjamin P. Koester +2
We introduce a framework for describing the halo selection function of optical cluster finders. We treat the problem as being separable into a term that describes the intrinsic gal…
Cosmological Constraints from SDSS maxBCG Cluster Abundances
Eduardo Rozo, Risa H. Wechsler, Benjamin P. Koester +6
We perform a maximum likelihood analysis of the cluster abundance measured in the SDSS using the maxBCG cluster finding algorithm. Our analysis is aimed at constraining the power s…
Virial Scaling of Massive Dark Matter Halos: Why Clusters Prefer a High Normalization Cosmology
A. E. Evrard, J. Bialek, M. Busha +14
We present a precise estimate of the bulk virial scaling relation of halos formed via hierarchical clustering in an ensemble of simulated cold dark matter cosmologies. The result i…
