LoCuSS: The splashback radius of massive galaxy clusters and its dependence on cluster merger history
Matteo Bianconi, Riccardo Buscicchio, Graham P. Smith +4
We present the direct detection of the splashback feature using the sample of massive galaxy clusters from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS). This feature is clearly d…
Constraining the lensing of binary black holes from their stochastic background
Riccardo Buscicchio, Christopher J. Moore, Geraint Pratten +3
Gravitational waves (GWs) are subject to gravitational lensing in the same way as electromagnetic radiation. However, to date, no unequivocal observation of a lensed GW transient h…
On building a cluster watch-list for identifying strongly lensed supernovae, gravitational waves and kilonovae
Dan Ryczanowski, Graham P. Smith, Matteo Bianconi +3
Motivated by discovering strongly-lensed supernovae, gravitational waves, and kilonovae in the 2020s, we investigate whether to build a watch-list of clusters based on observed clu…
What does strong gravitational lensing? The mass and redshift distribution of high-magnification lenses
Andrew Robertson, Graham P. Smith, Richard Massey +4
Many distant objects can only be detected, or become more scientifically valuable, if they have been highly magnified by strong gravitational lensing. We use EAGLE and BAHAMAS, two…
LoCuSS: exploring the connection between local environment, star formation and dust mass in Abell 1758
Matteo Bianconi, Graham P. Smith, Chris P. Haines +3
We explore the connection between dust and star formation, in the context of environmental effects on galaxy evolution. In particular, we exploit the susceptibility of dust to exte…
