The rate of galaxy cluster eccentricity evolution is useful in understanding large scale structure. Rapid evolution for $z < $ 0.13 has been found in two different observed cluster samples. We present an analysis of projections of 41…
As part of on an extensive data mining effort, we have compiled a database of 162 Galactic rotation speed measurements at $R_0$ (the solar Galactocentric distance), $\Theta_0$. Published between 1927 and 2017 June, this represents the most…
We report our analysis of the properties of galaxy clustering for a new redshift sample of galaxies, the CfA2-South catalog, using statistical methods which do not rely on the assumption of homogeneity. We find that, up to ~ 20 Mpc/h, which…
(abridged) Context. Gravitational fields at the outskirts of early-type galaxies (ETGs) are difficult to constrain observationally. It thus remains poorly explored how well the LCDM and MOND hypotheses agree with ETGs. Aims. This led us to…
To test whether clusters have rising mass to light ratios at large radii and to estimate the amplitude of the density fluctuation spectrum on the scale of 10\hmpc\ the Canadian Network for Observational Cosmology (CNOC) cluster…
The debate on the correlation properties of galaxy structures has having an increasing interest during the last year. In this lecture we discuss the claims of different authors who have criticized our approach and results. In order to have…
One may consider cross-correlation routines applied to stellar spectra as a way to determine not only the radial velocities but also to assess the properties of stellar atmospheres. We show that this is not the case. High value of the…
Redshift-space distortions in the clustering of galaxy clusters provide a novel probe to test the gravity theory on cosmological scales. The aim of this work is to derive new constraints on the linear growth rate of cosmic structures from…
Young stellar clusters across nearly five orders of magnitude in mass appear to follow a power-law mass-radius relationship (MRR), $R_{\star} \propto M_{\star}^{\alpha}$, with $\alpha \approx 0.2 - 0.33$. We develop a simple analytic model…
We search for a linearity in the ratio of dark matter to baryonic matter as a function of radius for galaxy clusters, motivated by a recent result by Lovas (arXiv:2206.11431), who has discovered such a linearity for a diverse suite of…
There is a known tension between cosmological parameter constraints obtained from the primary CMB and those from galaxy cluster samples. One possible explanation could be certain types of groups or clusters of galaxy have been missed in the…
We present a detailed comparison of mass measurements for clusters of galaxies using ASCA and ROSAT X-ray data and constraints from strong and weak gravitational lensing. Our results for a sample of 13 clusters provide a consistent…
We report the detection of a cross-correlation signal between {\it Fermi} Large Area Telescope diffuse gamma-ray maps and catalogs of clusters. In our analysis, we considered three different catalogs: WHL12, redMaPPer and PlanckSZ. They all…
We analyse the spatial clustering properties of the RASS1 Bright Sample, an X-ray flux-limited catalogue of galaxy clusters selected from the southern part of the $ROSAT$ All-Sky Survey. The two-point correlation function $\xi(r)$ of the…
This article is the second in a series in which we perform an extensive comparison of various galaxy-based cluster mass estimation techniques that utilise the positions, velocities and colours of galaxies. Our aim is to quantify the…
We present a survey of serendipitous extended X-ray sources and optical cluster candidates from the Chandra Multi-wavelength Project (ChaMP). Our main goal is to make an unbiased comparison of X-ray and optical cluster detection methods. In…
A tight mass-temperature relation, M(r)/r ~ T_X, is expected in most cosmological models if clusters of galaxies are homologous and the intracluster gas is in global equilibrium with the dark matter. We here calibrate this relation using 8…
Galaxy cluster number count has been proven to be a powerful cosmological probe. However, cosmological constraints established with galaxy cluster number count are highly dependent on the calibration of the mass-observable relations. Thanks…
Radial velocity searches for extrasolar planets have discovered stars undergoing slow accelerations. The accelerations are likely due to one or more gas giant planets or brown dwarfs orbiting with period longer than the total time span of…
We present an analysis of 20 galaxy clusters observed with the Chandra X-ray satellite, focussing on the temperature structure of the intracluster medium and the cooling time of the gas. Our sample is drawn from a flux-limited catalogue but…
