The splashback radius marks the physical boundary of galaxy clusters, separating orbiting from infalling material, and provides a halo definition free from pseudo-evolution. In this work, we present a fully photometric framework to measure…

We present a study of the distribution of galaxies along the radius of 157 groups and clusters of galaxies (200~km~s$^{-1}$ < $\sigma$ < 1100~km~s$^{-1}$) of the local Universe (0.01 < $z$ < 0.1). We introduced a new boundary of galaxy…

The splashback radius was proposed as a physically motivated boundary of clusters as it sets the limit between the infalling and the orbitally dominated regions. However, galaxy clusters are complex objects connected to filaments of the…

Splashback refers to the process of matter that is accreting onto a dark matter halo reaching its first orbital apocenter and turning around in its orbit. The cluster-centric radius at which this process occurs, r_sp, defines a halo…

We present the direct detection of the splashback feature using the sample of massive galaxy clusters from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS). This feature is clearly detected (above $5\sigma$) in the stacked luminosity density…

We show that the projected number density profiles of SDSS photometric galaxies around galaxy clusters displays strong evidence for the splashback radius, a sharp halo edge corresponding to the location of the first orbital apocenter of…

We present evidence for the existence of the splashback radius in galaxy clusters selected using the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect. We show that the deprojected cross-correlation of galaxy clusters found in the Planck survey with galaxies…

The boundaries of cold dark matter halos are commonly defined to enclose a density contrast $\Delta$ relative to a reference (mean or critical) density. We argue that a more physical boundary of halos is the radius at which accreted matter…

A self-similar spherical collapse model predicts a dark matter (DM) splashback and accretion shock in the outskirts of galaxy clusters while misses a key ingredient of structure formation - processes associated with mergers. To fill this…
