The galaxy cluster mass scale and its impact on cosmological constraints from the cluster population

GW Pratt, M Arnaud, A Biviano, D Eckert, S Ettori… - Space Science …, 2019 - Springer
The total mass of a galaxy cluster is one of its most fundamental properties. Together with
the redshift, the mass links observation and theory, allowing us to use the cluster population …

A universal model for halo concentrations

B Diemer, AV Kravtsov - The Astrophysical Journal, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org

regular and 4 high-magnification galaxy clusters at 0.19≲ z≲ 0.69 selected from the Cluster …

Cluster–galaxy weak lensing

K Umetsu - The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review, 2020 - Springer
Weak gravitational lensing of background galaxies provides a direct probe of the projected
matter distribution in and around galaxy clusters. Here, we present a self-contained …
