The scale radius of dark matter halos is a critical parameter for specifying the density distribution of dark matter, and is therefore a fundamental parameter for modeling galaxies. We develop here a novel, observationally motivated probe…
Clusters of galaxies are important laboratories for understanding both galaxy evolution and constraining cosmological quantities. Any analysis of clusters, however, is best done when one can reliably determine which galaxies are members of…
