We present a novel approach to extracting dwarf galaxies from photometric data to measure their average halo mass profile with weak lensing. We characterise their stellar mass and redshift distributions with a spectroscopic calibration…

We present constraints on the stellar-mass distribution of distant galaxies. These stellar-mass estimates derive from fitting population-synthesis models to the galaxies' observed multi-band spectrophotometry. We discuss the complex…

We use cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of Milky-Way-mass galaxies from the FIRE project to evaluate various strategies for estimating the mass of a galaxy's stellar halo from deep, integrated-light images. We find good agreement…

We present the mass-X-ray observable scaling relationships for clusters of galaxies using the XMM-Newton cluster catalog of Snowden et al. Our results are roughly consistent with previous observational and theoretical work, with one major…

How stellar mass assembles within galaxies is still an open question. We present measurements of the stellar mass distribution on kpc-scale for $\sim5500$ galaxies with stellar masses above $\log(M_{\ast}/M_{\odot})\geqslant9.8$ up to the…

The TNG300-1 run of the IllustrisTNG simulations includes 1697 clusters of galaxies with $M_{200c}>10^{14}$M$_\odot$ covering the redshift range $0.01-1.04$. We build mock spectroscopic redshift catalogues of simulated galaxies within these…
