Constraining the mass distribution of galaxies using galaxy-galaxy lensing in clusters and in the field
We present a maximum-likelihood analysis of galaxy-galaxy lensing effects in galaxy clusters and in the field. The aim is to determine the accuracy and robustness of constraints that can be obtained on galaxy halo properties in both environments the high density cluster and the low density field. This paper is theoretically motivated, therefore, we work exclusively with simulated data (neverthe...
متن کاملConstraining Galaxy Formation Models with Dwarf Ellipticals in Clusters
Recent observations demonstrate that dwarf elliptical (dE) galaxies in clusters, despite their faintness, are likely a critical galaxy type for understanding the processes behind galaxy formation. Dwarf ellipticals are the most common galaxy type, and are particularly abundant in rich galaxy clusters. The dwarf to giant ratio is in fact highest in rich clusters of galaxies, suggesting that clus...
متن کاملConstraining the Power Spectrum using Clusters
We analyze an extended redshift sample of Abell/ACO clusters and compare the results with those coming from numerical simulations of the cluster distribution, based on the truncated Zel’dovich approximation (TZA), for a list of eleven dark matter (DM) models. For each model we run several realizations, so that we generate a set of 48 independent mock Abell/ACO cluster samples per model, on whic...
متن کاملRevisiting the bound on axion-photon coupling from globular clusters.
We derive a strong bound on the axion-photon coupling g(aγ) from the analysis of a sample of 39 Galactic Globular Clusters. As recognized long ago, the R parameter, i.e., the number ratio of stars in horizontal over red giant branch of old stellar clusters, would be reduced by the axion production from photon conversions occurring in stellar cores. In this regard, we have compared the measured ...
متن کاملConstraining Evolution in the Halo Model Using Galaxy Redshift Surveys
We use the latest observations from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey to fit the conditional luminosity function (CLF) formulation of the halo-model for galaxies at z = 0. This fit is then used to test the extent of evolution in the halo occupation distribution (HOD) to z = 0.8, by comparing the predicted clustering from this CLF to preliminary results from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. We show that ...
