- Description:
- We present the first dynamical mass estimates and scaling relations for a sample of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) selected galaxy clusters. The sample consists of 16 massive clusters detected with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) over a 455deg^2^ area of the southern sky. Deep multi-object spectroscopic observations were taken to secure intermediate-resolution (R~700-800) spectra and redshifts for {approx}60 member galaxies on average per cluster. The dynamical masses M_200c_ of the clusters have been calculated using simulation-based scaling relations between velocity dispersion and mass. The sample has a median redshift z=0.50 and a median mass M_200c_~12x10^14^h_70_^-1^M_{sun}_ with a lower limit M_200c_~6x10^14^h_70_^-1^M_{sun}_, consistent with the expectations for the ACT southern sky survey. These masses are compared to the ACT SZE properties of the sample, specifically, the match-filtered central SZE amplitude {overline}{y_0_}, the central Compton parameter y_0_, and the integrated Compton signal Y_200c_, which we use to derive SZE-mass scaling relations. All SZE estimators correlate with dynamical mass with low intrinsic scatter (<~20%), in agreement with numerical simulations. We explore the effects of various systematic effects on these scaling relations, including the correlation between observables and the influence of dynamically disturbed clusters. Using the three-dimensional information available, we divide the sample into relaxed and disturbed clusters and find that ~50% of the clusters are disturbed. There are hints that disturbed systems might bias the scaling relations, but given the current sample sizes, these differences are not significant; further studies including more clusters are required to assess the impact of these clusters on the scaling relations.

- Description:
- We study the mass-richness relation of 116 spectroscopically confirmed massive clusters at 0.4<z<2 by mining the Spitzer archive. We homogeneously measure the richness at 4.5um for our cluster sample within a fixed aperture of 2' radius and above a fixed brightness threshold, making appropriate corrections for both background galaxies and foreground stars. We have two subsamples, those which have (a) literature X-ray luminosities and (b) literature Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect masses. For the X-ray subsample we re-derive masses adopting the most recent calibrations. We then calibrate an empirical mass-richness relation for the combined sample spanning more than one decade in cluster mass and find the associated uncertainties in mass at fixed richness to be +/-0.25dex. We study the dependence of the scatter of this relation with galaxy concentration, defined as the ratio between richness measured within an aperture radius of 1' and 2'. We find that at fixed aperture radius the scatter increases for clusters with higher concentrations. We study the dependence of our richness estimates with depth of the 4.5um imaging data and find that reaching a depth of at least [4.5]=21(AB)mag is sufficient to derive reasonable mass estimates. We discuss the possible extension of our method to the mid-infrared WISE All Sky Survey data and the application of our results to the Euclid mission. This technique makes richness-based cluster mass estimates available for large samples of clusters at very low observational cost.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We identify 47600 clusters of galaxies from photometric data of Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), and SuperCOSMOS, among which 26125 clusters are recognized for the first time and mostly in the sky outside the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) area. About 90 per cent of massive clusters of M_500_>3x10^14^M_{sun}_ in the redshift range of 0.025<z<0.3 have been detected from such survey data, and the detection rate drops down to 50 per cent for clusters with a mass of M_500_~1x10^14^M_{sun}_. Monte Carlo simulations show that the false detection rate for the whole cluster sample is less than 5 per cent. By cross-matching with ROSAT and XMM-Newton sources, we get 779 new X-ray cluster candidates which have X-ray counterparts within a projected offset of 0.2Mpc.

- Description:
- We present a catalog of galaxy clusters selected using the maxBCG red-sequence method from Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric data. This catalog includes 13823 clusters with velocity dispersions greater than ~400km/s and is the largest galaxy cluster catalog assembled to date. They are selected in an approximately volume-limited way from a 0.5Gpc^3^ region covering 7500deg^2^ of sky between redshifts 0.1 and 0.3. Each cluster contains between 10 and 190 E/S0 ridgeline galaxies brighter than 0.4L* within a scaled radius R_200_.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- X-ray and radio observations of CIZA J2242.8+5301 suggest that it is a major cluster merger. Despite being well studied in the X-ray and radio, little has been presented on the cluster structure and dynamics inferred from its galaxy population. We carried out a deep (i<25) broadband imaging survey of the system with Subaru SuprimeCam (g and i bands) and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (r band), as well as a comprehensive spectroscopic survey of the cluster area (505 redshifts) using Keck DEep Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph. We use these data to perform a comprehensive galaxy/redshift analysis of the system, which is the first step to a proper understanding of the geometry and dynamics of the merger, as well as using the merger to constrain self-interacting dark matter. We find that the system is dominated by two subclusters of comparable richness with a projected separation of 6.9'_-0.5_^+0.7^ (1.3_-0.10_^+0.13^Mpc). We find that the north and south subclusters have similar redshifts of z~0.188 with a relative line-of-sight (LOS) velocity difference of 69+/-190km/s. We also find that north and south subclusters have velocity dispersions of 1160_-90_^+100^ and 1080_-70_^+100^km/s, respectively. These correspond to masses of 16.1_-3.3_^+4.6^x10^14^ and 13.0_-2.5_^+4.0^x10^14^M_{Sun}_, respectively. While velocity dispersion measurements of merging clusters can be biased, we believe the bias in this system to be minor due to the large projected separation and nearly plane-of-sky merger configuration. We also find that the cDs of the north and south subclusters are very near their subcluster centers, in both projection (55 and 85kpc, respectively) and normalized LOS velocity (|{Delta}v|/{sigma}_v_=0.43+/-0.13 and 0.21+/-0.12 for the north and south, respectively). CIZA J2242.8+5301 is a relatively clean dissociative cluster merger with near 1:1 mass ratio, which makes it an ideal merger for studying merger-associated physical phenomena.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In the effort to understand the link between the structure of galaxy clusters and their galaxy populations, we focus on MACS J1206.2-0847 at z~0.44 and probe its substructure in the projected phase space through the spectrophotometric properties of a large number of galaxies from the CLASH-VLT survey. Our analysis is mainly based on an extensive spectroscopic dataset of 445 member galaxies, mostly acquired with VIMOS@VLT as part of our ESO Large Programme, sampling the cluster out to a radius ~2R200 (4Mpc). We classify 412 galaxies as passive, with strong Hdelta absorption (red and blue galaxies), and with emission lines from weak to very strong. A number of tests for substructure detection are applied to analyze the galaxy distribution in the velocity space, in 2D space, and in 3D projected phase-space. The observational scenario agrees with MACS J1206.2-0847 having WNW-ESE as the direction of the main cluster accretion, traced by passive galaxies and red strong H{delta} galaxies. The red strong H{delta} galaxies, interpreted as poststarburst galaxies, date a likely important event 1-2Gyr before the epoch of observation. The emission line galaxies trace a secondary, ongoing infall where groups are accreted along several directions.

- MCXC Meta-Catalogue X-ray galaxy Clusters
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the compilation and properties of a meta-catalogue of X-ray detected clusters of galaxies, the MCXC. This very large catalogue is based on publicly available ROSAT All Sky Survey-based (NORAS, REFLEX, BCS, SGP, NEP, MACS, and CIZA) and serendipitous (160SD, 400SD, SHARC, WARPS, and EMSS) cluster catalogues. Data have been systematically homogenised to an overdensity of 500, and duplicate entries from overlaps between the survey areas of the individual input catalogues are carefully handled. The MCXC comprises 1743 clusters with virtually no duplicate entries. For each cluster the MCXC provides three identifiers, a redshift, coordinates, membership in the original catalogue, and standardised 0.1-2.4keV band luminosity L_500_, total mass M_500_, and radius R_500_. The meta-catalogue additionally furnishes information on overlaps between the input catalogues and the luminosity ratios when measurements from different surveys are available, and gives notes on individual objects.

- Measuring dark energy properties with PS1 SNe. II.
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/857/51
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We use 1169 Pan-STARRS supernovae (SNe) and 195 low-z (z<0.1) SNe Ia to measure cosmological parameters. Though most Pan-STARRS SNe lack spectroscopic classifications, in a previous paper we demonstrated that photometrically classified SNe can be used to infer unbiased cosmological parameters by using a Bayesian methodology that marginalizes over core-collapse (CC) SN contamination. Our sample contains nearly twice as many SNe as the largest previous SN Ia compilation. Combining SNe with cosmic microwave background (CMB) constraints from Planck, we measure the dark energy equation-of-state parameter w to be -0.989+/-0.057 (stat+sys). If w evolves with redshift as w(a)=w0+wa(1-a), we find w0=-0.912+/-0.149 and wa=-0.513+/-0.826. These results are consistent with cosmological parameters from the Joint Light-curve Analysis and the Pantheon sample. We try four different photometric classification priors for Pan-STARRS SNe and two alternate ways of modeling CC SN contamination, finding that no variant gives a w differing by more than 2% from the baseline measurement. The systematic uncertainty on w due to marginalizing over CC SN contamination, {sigma}_w_^CC^=0.012, is the third-smallest source of systematic uncertainty in this work. We find limited (1.6{sigma}) evidence for evolution of the SN color-luminosity relation with redshift, a possible systematic that could constitute a significant uncertainty in future high-z analyses. Our data provide one of the best current constraints on w, demonstrating that samples with ~5% CC SN contamination can give competitive cosmological constraints when the contaminating distribution is marginalized over in a Bayesian framework.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The morphology-density relation manifests the environmental dependence of the formation and evolution of galaxies as they continuously migrate through the cosmic web to ever denser environments. As gas-rich galaxies traverse the outskirts and inner regions of galaxy clusters, they experience sudden and radical changes in their gas content and star formation activity. The goal of this work is to gain an HI perspective on gas depletion mechanisms acting on galaxies and galaxy groups that are being accreted by a moderately massive galaxy cluster. We aim to study the relative importance and efficiency of processes such as ram-pressure stripping and tidal interactions as well as their dependency on the local and global environment of galaxies in the cluster core and in its surroundings. We have conducted a blind radio continuum and Hi spectral line imaging survey with the MeerKAT radio telescope of a 2"x2" area centred on the galaxy cluster Abell 2626. We have used the CARAcal pipeline to reduce the data, SoFiA to detect sources within the Hi data cube, and GIPSY to construct spatially resolved information on the Hi morphologies and kinematics of the Hi detected galaxies. We have detected HI in 219 galaxies with optical counterparts within the entire surveyed volume. We present the HI properties of each of the detected galaxies as a data catalogue and as an atlas page for each galaxy, including HI column-density maps, velocity fields, position-velocity diagrams, and global HI profiles. These data will also be used for case studies of identified 'jellyfish' galaxies and galaxy population studies by means of morphological classification of the direct HI detections as well as using the HI stacking technique.
