Properties of Galaxy Clusters: Mass and Correlation Functions
We analyse parallel N-body simulations of three Cold Dark Matter (CDM) universes to study the abundance and clustering of galaxy clusters. The simulation boxes are 500hMpc on a side and cover a volume comparable to that of the forthcoming Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The use of a treecode algorithm and 47 million particles allows us at the same time to achieve high mass and force resolution. We ar...
متن کاملThe Mass Function of Nearby Galaxy Clusters
We present the distribution of virial masses for nearby galaxy clusters, as obtained from a data-set of 75 clusters, each having at least 20 galaxy members with measured redshifts within 1.5 h Mpc . After having accounted for problems of incompleteness of the data-set, we fitted a power-law to the cluster mass distribution. Subject headings: galaxies: clustering
متن کاملMass Estimates of Shear Selected Galaxy Clusters
The detection of galaxy clusters has traditionally been done through optical selection methods by detecting overdensities in galaxies throughout an image. However, UC Davis has been pioneering a method of detecting galaxy clusters by their weak lensing signal alone. The aim of this project is to obtain mass estimates of these clusters so that they may be compared with existing optical data to l...
متن کاملThe 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: Higher order galaxy correlation functions
We measure moments of the galaxy count probability distribution function in the two-degree field galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS). The survey is divided into volume limited subsamples in order to examine the dependence of the higher order clustering on galaxy luminosity. We demonstrate the hierarchical scaling of the averaged p-point galaxy correlation functions, ξ̄p, up to p = 6. The hierarchica...
متن کاملA Comparison of Simple Mass Estimators for Galaxy Clusters
High-resolution N-body simulations are used to investigate systematic trends in the mass profiles and total masses of clusters as derived from 3 simple estimators: (1) the weak gravitational lensing shear field under the assumption of an isothermal cluster potential, (2) the dynamical mass obtained from the measured velocity dispersion under the assumption of an isothermal cluster potential, an...
