Weak lensing magnification of SpARCS galaxy clusters
A. Tudorica, H. Hildebrandt, M. Tewes +11
Measuring and calibrating relations between cluster observables is critical for resource-limited studies. The mass-richness relation of clusters offers an observationally inexpensi…
XMM-Newton X-ray and HST weak gravitational lensing study of the extremely X-ray luminous galaxy cluster ClJ120958.9+495352 ()
Sophia Thölken, Tim Schrabback, Thomas H. Reiprich +6
Observations of relaxed, massive and distant clusters can provide important tests of standard cosmological models e.g. using the gas mass fraction. We study the very luminous, high…
A Multi-Wavelength Mass Analysis of RCS2 J232727.6-020437, a ~3x10M Galaxy Cluster at z=0.7
K. Sharon, M. D. Gladders, D. P. Marrone +19
We present an initial study of the mass and evolutionary state of a massive and distant cluster, RCS2 J232727.6-020437. This cluster, at z=0.6986, is the richest cluster discovered…
Optical & Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Observations of a New Sample of Distant Rich Galaxy Clusters in the ROSAT All Sky Survey
A. Buddendiek, T. Schrabback, C. H. Greer +15
Finding a sample of the most massive clusters with redshifts can provide an interesting consistency check of the cold dark matter (CDM) model. Here we present result…
The X-ray Properties of Optically Selected Clusters of Galaxies
Amalia K. Hicks, Gabriel W. Pratt, Megan Donahue +7
We present the results of Chandra and Suzaku X-ray observations of nine moderate-redshift (0.16 < z < 0.42) clusters discovered via the Red-sequence Cluster Survey (RCS). Surface b…
Evidence for Significant Growth in the Stellar Mass of Brightest Cluster Galaxies over the Past 10 Billion Years
C. Lidman, J. Suherli, A. Muzzin +17
Using new and published data, we construct a sample of 160 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) spanning the redshift interval 0.03 < z < 1.63. We use this sample, which covers 70% of…
