Journal ArticleDOI
Precision cluster mass determination from weak lensing
TL;DR: In this paper, a new statistic ϒ(R;R0) was proposed for estimating the masses of galaxy clusters, which completely eliminates mass contributions below a chosen scale (which should be about 20 per cent of the virial radius).
Journal ArticleDOI
The signatures of large-scale temperature and intensity fluctuations in the Lyman α forest
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used toy temperature models and detailed heating histories from cosmological simulations of He II reionization to study the consequences of inhomogeneous heating for the Lyα forest and found that physically motivated temperature models can alter P F at an order unity level at k ≲ 0.1 comoving Mpc −1, a magnitude that should be easily detectable with BOSS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Red-sequence cluster finding in the Millennium Simulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate halo mass selection properties of red-sequence cluster finders using galaxy populations of the Millennium Simulation (MS) and find that 90 per cent of the clusters found have galaxy membership dominated by a single, real-space halo, and that 10 per cent are blended systems for which no single halo contributes a majority of a cluster's membership.
Journal ArticleDOI
An improved calculation of the non-Gaussian halo mass function
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors improved upon the existing results for the mass function by combining path integral methods and saddle point techniques, and carefully account for the various scale dependent combinations of small parameters which appear.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cosmography with cluster strong lenses: the influence of substructure and line-of-sight haloes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the use of strong lensing by galaxy clusters to constrain the dark energy equation of state and its possible time variation and employ Monte Carlo simulations of cluster lenses, including the contribution from substructures, to assess the feasibility of this potentially powerful technique.
