The effect of pressure-anisotropy-driven kinetic instabilities on magnetic field amplification in galaxy clusters
Context. The intracluster medium (ICM) is the low-density diffuse gas that fills the space between galaxies within galaxy clusters. It is primarily composed of magnetized plasma, which reaches virial temperatures of up to 10(8) K, probably due to mergers o ...
Edp Sciences S A2024Hydrodynamical simulations of merging galaxy clusters: giant dark matter particle colliders, powered by gravity
David Richard Harvey, Richard Massey
Terrestrial particle accelerators collide charged particles, then watch the trajectory of outgoing debris - but they cannot manipulate dark matter. Fortunately, dark matter is the main component of galaxy clusters, which are continuously pulled together by ...
Oxford Univ Press2024CURLING - I. The influence of point-like image approximation on the outcomes of cluster strong lens modelling
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan, Nan Li
Cluster-scale strong lensing is a powerful tool for exploring the properties of dark matter and constraining cosmological models. However, due to the complex parameter space, pixelized strong lens modelling in galaxy clusters is computationally expensive, ...
Oxford Univ Press2024Euclid: Validation of the MontePython forecasting tools
Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Jean-Luc Starck, Maurizio Martinelli, Julien Lesgourgues, Slobodan Ilic, Yi Wang, Richard Massey
Context. The Euclid mission of the European Space Agency will perform a survey of weak lensing cosmic shear and galaxy clustering in order to constrain cosmological models and fundamental physics. Aims. We expand and adjust the mock Euclid likelihoods of t ...
Les Ulis Cedex A2024Euclid preparation XXXVII. Galaxy colour selections with Euclid and ground photometry for cluster weak-lensing analyses
Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Gianluca Castignani, Maurizio Martinelli, Matthias Wiesmann, Yi Wang, Richard Massey, Fabio Finelli, Marcello Farina
Aims. We derived galaxy colour selections from Euclid and ground-based photometry, aiming to accurately define background galaxy samples in cluster weak-lensing analyses. These selections have been implemented in the Euclid data analysis pipelines for gala ...
Edp Sciences S A2024The AGORA High-resolution Galaxy Simulations Comparison Project. V. Satellite Galaxy Populations in a Cosmological Zoom-in Simulation of a Milky Way-Mass Halo
Yves Revaz, Loïc Hausammann, Alessandro Lupi
We analyze and compare the satellite halo populations at z similar to 2 in the high-resolution cosmological zoom-in simulations of a 1012 M circle dot target halo (z = 0 mass) carried out on eight widely used astrophysical simulation codes (Art-I, Enzo, Ra ...
Bristol2024Strong gravitational lensing's 'external shear' is not shear
David Richard Harvey, Mathilde Jauzac, Richard Massey
The distribution of mass in galaxy-scale strong gravitational lenses is often modelled as an elliptical power-law plus 'external shear', which notionally accounts for neighbouring galaxies and cosmic shear along our line of sight. A small amount of externa ...
