The XMM Cluster Survey: Exploring scaling relations and completeness of the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 redMaPPer cluster catalogue

E. W. Upsdell, P. A. Giles, A. K. Romer +67

We cross-match and compare characteristics of galaxy clusters identified in observations from two sky surveys using two completely different techniques. One sample is optically sel…

The XMM Cluster Survey analysis of the SDSS DR8 redMaPPer Catalogue: Implications for scatter, selection bias, and isotropy in cluster scaling relations

P. A. Giles, A. K. Romer, R. Wilkinson +21

In this paper we present the X-ray analysis of SDSS DR8 redMaPPer (SDSSRM) clusters using data products from the Cluster Survey (XCS). In total, 1189 SDSSRM clusters fall wit…

The Growth of Intracluster Light in XCS-HSC Galaxy Clusters from

Kate E. Furnell, Chris A. Collins, Lee S. Kelvin +14

We estimate the Intracluster Light (ICL) component within a sample of 18 clusters detected in XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) data using deep ( 26.8 mag) Hyper Suprime Cam Subaru St…

Environmental dependence of X-ray and optical properties of galaxy clusters

Maria Manolopoulou, Ben Hoyle, Robert G. Mann +2

Galaxy clusters are widely used to constrain cosmological parameters through their properties, such as masses, luminosity and temperature distributions. One should take into accoun…

The XMM Cluster Survey: new evidence for the 3.5 keV feature in clusters is inconsistent with a dark matter origin

S. Bhargava, P. A. Giles, A. K. Romer +14

There have been several reports of a detection of an unexplained excess of X-ray emission at 3.5 keV in astrophysical systems. One interpretation of this excess is the dec…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Results: Calibration of Cluster Mis-centering in the redMaPPer Catalogs

Y. Zhang, T. Jeltema, D. L. Hollowood +83

The center determination of a galaxy cluster from an optical cluster finding algorithm can be offset from theoretical prescriptions or -body definitions of its host halo center.…

The Cluster Survey: joint modelling of the scaling relation for clusters and groups of galaxies

Leyla Ebrahimpour, Pedro T. P. Viana, Maria Manolopoulou +16

We characterize the X-ray luminosity--temperature () relation using a sample of 353 clusters and groups of galaxies with temperatures in excess of 1 keV, spanning the…

Galaxy cluster's rotation

M. Manolopoulou, M. Plionis

We study the possible rotation of cluster galaxies, developing, testing and applying a novel algorithm which identifies rotation, if such does exist, as well as its rotational cent…

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…
