Red Supergiants as Cosmic Abundance Probes: Massive Star Clusters in M83 and the Mass-Metallicity Relation of Nearby Galaxies

We present an abundance analysis of seven super star clusters in the disk of M83. The near-infrared spectra of these clusters are dominated by red supergiants, and the spectral similarity in the J-band of such stars at uniform metallicity means that the in ...

A test for skewed distributions of dark matter, and a possible detection in galaxy cluster Abell 3827

Frédéric Courbin, David Richard Harvey, Rémy Elie Joseph

Simulations of self-interacting dark matter predict that dark matter should lag behind galaxies during a collision. If the interaction is mediated by a high-mass force carrier, the distribution of dark matter can also develop asymmetric dark matter tails. ...

Stellar-to-halo mass relation of cluster galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

In the formation of galaxy groups and clusters, the dark matter haloes containing satellite galaxies are expected to be tidally stripped in gravitational interactions with the host. We use galaxy-galaxy weak lensing to measure the average mass of dark matt ...

ASTErIsM: application of topometric clustering algorithms in automatic galaxy detection and classification

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Frédéric Courbin, Danuta Janina Paraficz

We present a study on galaxy detection and shape classification using topometric clustering algorithms. We first use the DBSCAN algorithm to extract, from CCD frames, groups of adjacent pixels with significant fluxes and we then apply the DENCLUE algorithm ...

GREAT3 results - I. Systematic errors in shear estimation and the impact of real galaxy morphology

Frédéric Courbin, Malte Tewes, Huanyuan Shan, Marc Gentile, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer, Guldariya Nurbaeva

We present first results from the third GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing (GREAT3) challenge, the third in a sequence of challenges for testing methods of inferring weak gravitational lensing shear distortions from simulated galaxy images. GREAT3 was ...

Galaxy Alignments: Observations and Impact on Cosmology

Anaïs Marie Rassat

Galaxy shapes are not randomly oriented, rather they are statistically aligned in a way that can depend on formation environment, history and galaxy type. Studying the alignment of galaxies can therefore deliver important information about the physics of g ...

The Smith Cloud and its dark matter halo: survival of a Galactic disc passage

Matthew Luke Nichols

Under conservative assumptions about the Galaxy, the derived velocity of the Smith Cloud indicates that it will have undergone at least one passage of the Galactic disc. Using hydrodynamic simulations, we examine the present-day structure of the Smith Clou ...

Understanding The Unique Assembly History Of Central Group Galaxies

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

Central galaxies (CGs) in massive halos live in unique environments with formation histories closely linked to that of the host halo. In local clusters, they have larger sizes (R-e) and lower velocity dispersions (sigma) at fixed stellar mass M-*, and much ...

First galaxy-galaxy lensing measurement of satellite halo mass in the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Huanyuan Shan

We select satellite galaxies from the galaxy group catalogue constructed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectroscopic galaxies and measure the tangential shear around these galaxies with the source catalogue extracted from the Canada-France-Hawaii Teles ...

IceCube search for dark matter annihilation in nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters

Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai, Mathieu Ribordy, Shirit Cohen

We present the results of a first search for self-annihilating dark matter in nearby galaxies and galaxy clusters using a sample of high-energy neutrinos acquired in 339.8 days of live time during 2009/10 with the IceCube neutrino observatory in its 59-str ...

Cold gas in the inner regions of intermediate redshift clusters

Pascale Jablonka

Determining the nature and modes of star formation at galactic scales requires an understanding of the relationship between the gas content of a galaxy and its star formation rate. Remarkable progress has been made in understanding the conversion mechanism ...

Quantifying the faint structure of galaxies: the late-type spiral NGC 2403

Pascale Jablonka

Ground-based surveys have mapped the stellar outskirts of Local Group disc galaxies in unprecedented detail, but extending this work to other galaxies is necessary in order to overcome stochastic variations in evolutionary history and provide more stringen ...
