The dynamics of the Anglerfish cluster
B. Destefanis, M. Balboni, I. Bartalucci +8
Merging galaxy clusters represent the ideal laboratory to test our understanding of the large scale structure formation history and the processes involved. While many merging clust…
CLASH-VLT: The variance in the velocity anisotropy profiles of galaxy clusters
A. Biviano, E. A. Maraboli, L. Pizzuti +9
The velocity anisotropy profiles, , of galaxy clusters are directly related to the shape of the orbits of their member galaxies. Knowledge of is important to understan…
The powerful lens galaxy cluster PLCK G287.0+32.9 ()
Maurizio D'Addona, Amata Mercurio, Piero Rosati +17
We present a new high-precision strong lensing model of PLCK G287.032.9, a massive lens galaxy cluster at , with the aim to get an accurate estimation of its effective…
Mass profile decomposition of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS J0416-02403. Insights on the Dark-Matter inner profile
M. Annunziatella, M. Bonamigo, C. Grillo +8
We present a high resolution dissection of the two-dimensional total mass distribution in the core of the Hubble Frontier Fields galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403, at z ~ 0.396. We…
Numerical simulations challenged on the prediction of massive subhalo abundance in galaxy clusters: the case of Abell 2142
E. Munari, C. Grillo, G. De Lucia +6
In this Letter we compare the abundance of member galaxies of a rich, nearby () galaxy cluster, Abell 2142, with that of halos of comparable virial mass extracted from sets…
CLASH-VLT: A Highly Precise Strong Lensing Model of the Galaxy Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431 (Abell S1063) and Prospects for Cosmography
G. B. Caminha, C. Grillo, P. Rosati +32
We perform a comprehensive study of the total mass distribution of the galaxy cluster RXCJ2248 () with a set of high-precision strong lensing models, which take advantage…
CLASH-VLT: Dissecting the Frontier Fields Galaxy Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 with Spectra of Member Galaxies
I. Balestra, A. Mercurio, B. Sartoris +33
We present VIMOS-VLT spectroscopy of the Frontier Fields cluster MACS~J0416.1-2403 (z=0.397). Taken as part of the CLASH-VLT survey, the large spectroscopic campaign provided more…
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

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-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…
CLASH-VLT: spectroscopic confirmation of a z=6.11 quintuply lensed galaxy in the Frontier Fields Cluster RXC J2248.7-4431
