The Splashback Feature around DES Galaxy Clusters: Galaxy Density and Weak Lensing Profiles

C. Chang, E. Baxter, B. Jain +82

Splashback refers to the process of matter that is accreting onto a dark matter halo reaching its first orbital apocenter and turning around in its orbit. The cluster-centric radiu…
