Toward Unbiased Galaxy Cluster Masses from Line of Sight Velocity Dispersions
We study the use of red sequence selected galaxy spectroscopy for unbiased estimation of galaxy cluster masses. We use the publicly available galaxy catalog produced using the semi-analytic model of De Lucia & Blaizot (2007) on the Millenium Simulation (Springel et al. 2005). We make mock observations to mimic the selection of the galaxy sample, the interloper rejection and the dispersion measu...
متن کاملQuasar Black Hole Masses from Velocity Dispersions
Much progress has been made in measuring black hole (BH) masses in (non-active) galactic nuclei using the tight correlation between stellar velocity dispersions σ in galaxies and the mass of their central BH. The use of this correlation in quasars, however, is hampered by the difficulty in measuring sigma in host galaxies that tend to be overpowered by their very bright nuclei. We discuss resul...
متن کاملCosmological Constraints from Galaxy Cluster Velocity Statistics
Future microwave sky surveys will have the sensitivity to detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal from moving galaxy clusters, thus providing a direct measurement of their line-of-sight peculiar velocity. We show that cluster peculiar velocity statistics applied to foreseeable surveys will put significant constraints on fundamental cosmological parameters. We consider three statistical qu...
متن کاملGravitationaìconvergence' and Galaxy Cluster Masses
Two colour photometry of the cluster A1689 reveals a `relative magniication-bias' between lensed blue and red background galaxies, arising from a dependence of the faint galaxy count-slope on colour. The colour distribution is skewed blueward of the far eld, allowing us to measure the cluster magniication and to understand the notorious blueness of large arcs. We show that the magniication info...
متن کاملVorticity from Line-of-Sight Lidar Velocity Scans
A method is presented to compute the spanwise vorticity in polar coordinates from 2D vertical cross sections of high-resolution line-of-sight Doppler wind lidar observations. The method uses the continuity equation to derive the velocity component perpendicular to the observed line-of-sight velocity, which then yields the spanwise vorticity component. The results of the method are tested using ...
