Galaxies in X-ray Selected Clusters and Groups in Dark Energy Survey Data II: Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling of the Red-Sequence Galaxy Luminosity Function
Y. Zhang, C. J. Miller, P. Rooney +77
Using X-ray selected clusters in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data, we constrain the luminosity function (LF) of cluster red sequence galaxies as a functi…
Testing Gravity Using Galaxy Clusters: New Constraints on Beyond Horndeski Theories
Jeremy Sakstein, Harry Wilcox, David Bacon +2
The Beyond Horndeski class of alternative gravity theories allow for Self-accelerating de-Sitter cosmologies with no need for a cosmological constant. This makes them viable altern…
Simulation tests of galaxy cluster constraints on chameleon gravity
Harry Wilcox, Robert C. Nichol, Gong-bo Zhao +3
We use two new hydrodynamical simulations of CDM and gravity to test the methodology used by Wilcox et al. 2015 (W15) in constraining the effects of a fifth force on the…
The redMaPPer Galaxy Cluster Catalog From DES Science Verification Data
E. S. Rykoff, E. Rozo, D. Hollowood +86
We describe updates to the \redmapper{} algorithm, a photometric red-sequence cluster finder specifically designed for large photometric surveys. The updated algorithm is applied t…
The Dark Energy Survey: more than dark energy - an overview
Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +138
This overview article describes the legacy prospect and discovery potential of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) beyond cosmological studies, illustrating it with examples from the DES…
The XMM Cluster Survey: The Halo Occupation Number of BOSS galaxies in X-ray clusters
Nicola Mehrtens, A. Kathy Romer, Robert C. Nichol +26
We present a direct measurement of the mean halo occupation distribution (HOD) of galaxies taken from the eleventh data release (DR11) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Os…
The XMM Cluster Survey: evolution of the velocity dispersion -- temperature relation over half a Hubble time
Susan Wilson, Matt Hilton, Philip J. Rooney +26
We measure the evolution of the velocity dispersion--temperature (--) relation up to using a sample of 38 galaxy clusters drawn from the \textit{XMM}…
OzDES multi-fibre spectroscopy for the Dark Energy Survey: first-year operation and results
Fang Yuan, C. Lidman, T. M. Davis +99
OzDES is a five-year, 100-night, spectroscopic survey on the Anglo-Australian Telescope, whose primary aim is to measure redshifts of approximately 2,500 Type Ia supernovae host ga…
The XMM Cluster Survey: Testing chameleon gravity using the profiles of clusters
Harry Wilcox, David Bacon, Robert C. Nichol +17
The chameleon gravity model postulates the existence of a scalar field that couples with matter to mediate a fifth force. If it exists, this fifth force would influence the hot X-r…
Galaxies in X-ray Selected Clusters and Groups in Dark Energy Survey Data I: Stellar Mass Growth of Bright Central Galaxies Since z~1.2
Y. Zhang, C. Miller, T. Mckay +80
Using the science verification data of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) for a new sample of 106 X-Ray selected clusters and groups, we study the stellar mass growth of Bright Central G…
Mass and galaxy distributions of four massive galaxy clusters from Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
P. Melchior, E. Suchyta, E. Huff +89
We measure the weak-lensing masses and galaxy distributions of four massive galaxy clusters observed during the Science Verification phase of the Dark Energy Survey. This pathfinde…
