MC: Subaru and Hubble Space Telescope Weak-Lensing Analysis of the Double Radio Relic Galaxy Cluster PLCK G287.0+32.9
Kyle Finner, M. James Jee, Nathan Golovich +6
The second most significant detection of the Planck Sunyaev Zel'dovich survey, PLCK~G287.0+32.9 () boasts two similarly bright radio relics and a radio halo. One radio rel…
Merging Cluster Collaboration: Optical and Spectroscopic Survey of a Radio-Selected Sample of Twenty Nine Merging Galaxy Clusters
Nathan Golovich, William A. Dawson, David M. Wittman +11
Multi-band photometric and multi-object spectroscopic surveys of merging galaxy clusters allow for the characterization of the distributions of constituent dark matter and galaxy p…
MC^2: A deeper look at ZwCl 2341.1+0000 with Bayesian galaxy clustering and weak lensing analyses
Bryant Benson, David M. Wittman, Nathan Golovich +3
ZwCl 2341.1+0000, a merging galaxy cluster with disturbed X-ray morphology and widely separated (3 Mpc) double radio relics, was thought to be an extremely massive ($10-30 \t…
On the absence of radio halos in clusters with double relics
A. Bonafede, R. Cassano, M. Brüggen +10
Pairs of radio relics are believed to form during cluster mergers, and are best observed when the merger occurs in the plane of the sky. Mergers can also produce radio halos, throu…
MC: Multi-wavelength and dynamical analysis of the merging galaxy cluster ZwCl 0008.8+5215: An older and less massive Bullet Cluster
Nathan Golovich, Reinout J. van Weeren, William A. Dawson +2
We analyze a rich dataset including Subaru/SuprimeCam, HST/ACS and WFC3, Keck/DEIMOS, Chandra/ACIS-I, and JVLA/C and D array for the merging galaxy cluster ZwCl 0008.8+5215. With a…
The Case for Electron Re-Acceleration at Galaxy Cluster Shocks
Reinout J. van Weeren, Felipe Andrade-Santos, William A. Dawson +16
On the largest scales, the Universe consists of voids and filaments making up the cosmic web. Galaxy clusters are located at the knots in this web, at the intersection of filaments…
The Mismeasure of Mergers: Revised Limits on Self-interacting Dark Matter in Merging Galaxy Clusters
David Wittman, Nathan Golovich, William A. Dawson
In an influential recent paper, Harvey et al (2015) derive an upper limit to the self-interaction cross section of dark matter ( cm/g at 95\% confidence) by…
