Testing the theory of gravity with DESI: estimators, predictions and simulation requirements

Shadab Alam, Christian Arnold, Alejandro Aviles +33

Shortly after its discovery, General Relativity (GR) was applied to predict the behavior of our Universe on the largest scales, and later became the foundation of modern cosmology.…

Deriving galaxy cluster velocity anisotropy profiles from a joint analysis of dynamical and weak lensing data

Alejo Stark, Christopher J. Miller, Vitali Halenka

We present an analytic approach to lift the mass-anisotropy degeneracy in clusters of galaxies by utilizing the line-of-sight velocity dispersion of clustered galaxies jointly with…

Inferring Gravitational Potentials from Mass Densities in Cluster-sized Halos

Christopher J. Miller, Alejo Stark, Daniel Gifford +1

We use N-body simulations to quantify how the escape velocity in cluster-sized halos maps to the gravitational potential in a LambdaCDM universe. Using spherical density-potential…

On Escaping a Galaxy Cluster in an Accelerating Universe

Alejo Stark, Christopher J. Miller, Daniel Gifford

We derive the escape velocity profile for an Einasto density field in an accelerating universe and demonstrate its physical viability by comparing theoretical expectations to both…

Cosmology with Galaxy Cluster Phase Spaces

Alejo Stark, Christopher J. Miller, Dragan Huterer

We present a novel approach to constrain accelerating cosmologies with galaxy cluster phase spaces. With the Fisher matrix formalism we forecast constraints on the cosmological par…

Probing Theories of Gravity with Phase Space-Inferred Potentials of Galaxy Clusters

Alejo Stark, Christopher J. Miller, Nicholas Kern +5

Modified theories of gravity provide us with a unique opportunity to generate innovative tests of gravity. In Chameleon f(R) gravity, the gravitational potential differs from the w…
