Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project - IV. Understanding the effects of imperfect membership on cluster mass estimation
R. Wojtak, L. Old, G. A. Mamon +17
The primary difficulty in measuring dynamical masses of galaxy clusters from galaxy data lies in the separation between true cluster members from interloping galaxies along the lin…
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…
Stacking Caustic Masses from Galaxy Clusters
Daniel Gifford, Nicholas Kern, Christopher J. Miller
Ongoing and future spectroscopic surveys will measure numerous galaxy redshifts within tens of thousands of galaxy clusters. However, the sampling within these clusters will be low…
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…
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…
