Optical selection bias and projection effects in stacked galaxy cluster weak lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Eli S. Rykoff | First 5 Authors: Hao-Yi Wu, Matteo Costanzi, Chun-Hao To, Andrés N. Salcedo, David H. Weinberg | Summary: Cosmological constraints from current and upcoming galaxy cluster surveys are limited by the accuracy of cluster mass calibration. In particular, optically identified galaxy clusters are prone to selection effects that can bias […]

Experimentally ruling out joint reality based on operational completeness

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Qiuxin Zhang, Yu Xiang, Xiaoting Gao, Chenhao Zhu, Yuxin Wang | Summary: Whether the observables of a physical system admit real values is of fundamental importance to a deep understanding of nature. In this work, we report a device-independent experiment to confirm that the joint reality of […]

The feasibility of constraining DM interactions with high-redshift observations by JWST

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ali Kurmus, Sownak Bose, Mark Lovell, Francis-Yan Cyr-Racine, Mark Vogelsberger | Summary: Observations of the high redshift universe provide a promising avenue for constraining the nature of the dark matter (DM). This will be even more true with the advent of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). […]

Signature of Supersonic Turbulence in Galaxy Clusters Revealed by AGN-driven H$α$ Filaments

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Haojie Hu, Yu Qiu, Marie-Lou Gendron-Marsolais, Tamara Bogdanovic, Julie Hlavacek-Larrondo | Summary: The hot intracluster medium (ICM) is thought to be quiescent with low observed velocity dispersions. Surface brightness fluctuations of the ICM also suggest that its turbulence is subsonic with a Kolmogorov scaling relation, indicating that […]
