Core Formation in Galactic Nuclei Due to Recoiling Black Holes
Michael Boylan-Kolchin, Chung-Pei Ma, Eliot Quataert
Anisotropic gravitational radiation from a coalescing black hole binary can impart a recoil velocity of up to several hundred km/s to the remnant black hole. We examine the effects…
Effects of Ellipticity and Shear on Gravitational Lens Statistics
Dragan Huterer, Chuck Keeton, Chung-Pei Ma
We study the effects of ellipticity in lens galaxies and external tidal shear from neighboring objects on the statistics of strong gravitational lenses. For isothermal lens galaxie…
Evolution and Color-Dependence of the Galaxy Angular Correlation Function: 350,000 Galaxies in 5 Square Degrees
Alison L. Coil, Jeffrey A. Newman, Nick Kaiser +4
When applied to deep photometric catalogs, the two-point angular correlation function, w(theta), is a sensitive probe of the evolution of galaxy clustering properties. Here we pres…
Are Halos of Collisionless Cold Dark Matter Collisionless?
Chung-Pei Ma, Michael Boylan-Kolchin
Much recent discussion about dark matter has been centered on two seemingly independent problems: the abundance of substructure in dark matter halos, and the cuspiness of the halos…
