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…
Cosmological parameters such as $\Omega_{\rm{M}}$ and $\sigma_{8}$ can be measured indirectly using various methods, including galaxy cluster abundance and cosmic shear. These measurements constrain the composite parameter $S_{8}$, leading…
The masses of galaxy clusters can be measured using data obtained exclusively from wide photometric surveys in one of two ways: directly from the amplitude of the weak lensing signal or, indirectly, through the use of scaling relations…

We report the results of a study of the distribution of galaxies in the projection along the radius ($R \leq 3R_{200c}$) for 157~groups and clusters of galaxies in the local Universe (0.01 < $z$ < 0.10) with line-of-sight velocity…
The boundaries of dark matter and gas in clusters are delineated by the splashback radius and the accretion shock, respectively. Theoretically, both of these boundaries are expected to coincide at the outskirts of halos. However,…
