Sloan digital sky survey: Early data release
- C. Stoughton, R. Lupton, Wei Zheng
- Physics
- 2002
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an imaging and spectroscopic survey that will eventually cover approximately one-quarter of the celestial sphere and collect spectra of ≈106 galaxies, 100,000…
The Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. V. Improving the Dark-energy Constraints above z > 1 and Building an Early-type-hosted Supernova Sample
We present Advanced Camera for Surveys, NICMOS, and Keck adaptive-optics-assisted photometry of 20 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Cluster Supernova Survey. The SNe…
Intracluster Medium Entropy Profiles for a Chandra Archival Sample of Galaxy Clusters
- K. Cavagnolo, M. Donahue, G. Voit, Ming Sun
- Physics
- 11 February 2009
We present radial entropy profiles of the intracluster medium (ICM) for a collection of 239 clusters taken from the Chandra X-ray Observatory's Data Archive. Entropy is of great interest because it…
Wide-Field InfrarRed Survey Telescope-Astrophysics Focused Telescope Assets WFIRST-AFTA 2015 Report
- D. Spergel, N. Gehrels, F. Zhao
- Physics, Geology
- 12 March 2015
This report describes the 2014 study by the Science Definition Team (SDT) of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) mission. It is a space observatory that will address the most compelling…
THE CLUSTER LENSING AND SUPERNOVA SURVEY WITH HUBBLE: AN OVERVIEW
- M. Postman, D. Coe, A. V. D. Wel
- Physics
- 16 June 2011
The Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) is a 524-orbit Multi-Cycle Treasury Program to use the gravitational lensing properties of 25 galaxy clusters to accurately constrain…
A magnified young galaxy from about 500 million years after the Big Bang
- Wei Zheng, M. Postman, A. V. D. Wel
- PhysicsNature
- 20 September 2012
Re-ionization of the intergalactic medium occurred in the early Universe at redshift z ≈ 6–11, following the formation of the first generation of stars. Those young galaxies (where the bulk of stars…
Clash: Weak-lensing shear-and-magnification analysis of 20 galaxy clusters
- K. Umetsu, E. Medezinski, A. Zitrin
- Physics
- 4 April 2014
We present a joint shear-and-magnification weak-lensing analysis of a sample of 16 X-ray-regular and 4 high-magnification galaxy clusters at 0.19 ≾ z ≾ 0.69 selected from the Cluster Lensing And…
A Very Hot High-Redshift Cluster of Galaxies: More Trouble for Ω0 = 1
- M. Donahue, G. Voit, I. Gioia, G. Luppino, J. Hughes, J. Stocke
- Physics
- 1 July 1997
We have observed the most distant (z = 0.829) cluster of galaxies in the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) with the ASCA and ROSAT satellites. We find an X-ray temperature of 12.3…
Galaxy-cluster gas-density distributions of the Representative XMM-Newton Cluster Structure Survey (REXCESS)
- J. Croston, G. Pratt, M. Donahue
- Physics
- 22 January 2008
We present a study of the structural and scaling properties of the gas distributions in the intracluster medium (ICM) of 31 nearby (z 3 keV scale self-similarly, with no temperature dependence of…
Hα Tail, Intracluster H II Regions, and Star Formation: ESO 137-001 in Abell 3627
- M. Sun, M. Donahue, G. Voit
- Physics
- 8 June 2007
We present the discovery of a 40 kpc Hα tail and at least 29 emission-line objects downstream of a star-forming galaxy, ESO 137-001, in the rich, nearby cluster A3627. The galaxy is known to possess…
