Velocity Anisotropy and Shape Bias in the Caustic Technique
Daniel Gifford, Christopher J. Miller
We use the Millennium Simulation to quantify the statistical accuracy and precision of the escape velocity technique for measuring cluster-sized halo masses at z~0.1. We show that…

A Systematic Analysis of Caustic Methods for Galaxy Cluster Masses
Daniel Gifford, Christopher J. Miller, Nicholas Kern
We quantify the expected observed statistical and systematic uncertainties of the escape velocity as a measure of the gravitational potential and total mass of galaxy clusters. We…
