We present results from a deep Chandra observation of MS1137.5+66, a distant (z=0.783) and massive cluster of galaxies. Only a few similarly massive clusters are currently known at such high redshifts; accordingly, this observation provides…

We compare two different probes of the expansion history of the universe, namely, luminosity distances from type Ia supernovae and angular diameter distances from galaxy clusters, using the Bayesian interpretation of Crossing statistic [1,…

Tracking the cold molecular gas contents of galaxies is critical to understand the interplay between star formation and galaxy growth across cosmic time. Observations of the long-wavelength dust continuum, a proxy for the cold gas, are…

We discuss the measurements of the galaxy cluster mass functions at z=~0.05 and z=~0.5 using high-quality Chandra observations of samples derived from the ROSAT PSPC All-Sky and 400deg^2 surveys. We provide a full reference for the data…

We present new observations of MRG-M2129, a quiescent galaxy at z = 2.15 with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). With the combination of the gravitational lensing effect by the foreground cluster and the angular…

Measuring molecular gas mass is vital for understanding the evolution of galaxies at high redshifts (z$\geq$1). Most measurements rely on CO as a tracer, but dependences on metallicity, dynamics and surface density lead to systematic…
