Simulation tests of galaxy cluster constraints on chameleon gravity
We use two new hydrodynamical simulations of cold dark matter ( CDM) and f(R) gravity to test the methodology used by Wilcox et al. (W15) in constraining the effects of a fifth force on the profiles of clusters of galaxies. We construct realistic simulated stacked weak lensing and X-ray surface brightness cluster profiles from these cosmological simulations, and then use these data projected al...
متن کاملTests of chameleon gravity
Theories of modified gravity, where light scalars with non-trivial self-interactions and non-minimal couplings to matter-chameleon and symmetron theories-dynamically suppress deviations from general relativity in the solar system. On other scales, the environmental nature of the screening means that such scalars may be relevant. The highly-nonlinear nature of screening mechanisms means that the...
متن کاملCluster-Group Interaction in the Virgo Cluster
We present two projects related to interaction in the Virgo cluster. In the first section we draw a quantitative comparison of the distribution of the galaxies and the intra-cluster gas taking into account that the Virgo cluster has an irregular structure consisting of several subclusters. In the second section we show hydrodynamic simulations of the interaction (ram pressure stripping) of a ga...
متن کاملGlobular Cluster Formation in the Virgo Cluster
Metal-poor globular clusters (MPGCs) are a unique probe of the early universe, in particular the reionization era. A popular hypothesis is that the observed truncation of MPGC formation is due to reionization. Under this hypothesis, constraining the formation epoch of MPGCs provides a complementary constraint on the epoch of reionization. Moreover, as the earliest reionizing sources first forme...
متن کاملThe Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey*
We present a resolved dust analysis of three of the largest angular size spiral galaxies, NGC 4501 and NGC 4567/8, in the Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) science demonstration field. Herschel has unprecedented spatial resolution at far-infrared wavelengths and with the PACS and SPIRE instruments samples both sides of the peak in the far infrared spectral energy distribution (SED). We pre...
