The cluster correlation function and its richness dependence are determined from 1108 clusters of galaxies -- the largest sample of clusters studied so far -- found in 379 deg^2 of Sloan Digital Sky Survey early data. The results are…
We generate mock galaxy catalogues for a grid of different cosmologies, using rescaled N-body simulations in tandem with a semi-analytic model run using consistent parameters. Because we predict the galaxy bias, rather than fitting it as a…
The canonical $\Lambda$CDM cosmological model makes precise predictions for the clustering and lensing properties of galaxies. It has been shown that the lensing amplitude of galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is…
We present the first cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of galaxy clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing using extended SubHalo Abundance Matching (SHAMe). We analyse stellar mass-selected Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) galaxy…
Assembly bias describes the finding that the clustering of dark matter haloes depends on halo formation time at fixed halo mass. In this paper, we analyse the influence of assembly bias on galaxy clustering using both semi-analytical models…
We present the first scaling relation between weak-lensing galaxy cluster mass, $M_{WL}$, and near-infrared luminosity, $L_K$. Our results are based on 17 clusters observed with wide-field instruments on Subaru, the United Kingdom Infrared…
The X-ray regime, where the most massive visible component of galaxy clusters, the intra cluster medium (ICM), is visible, offers directly measured quantities, like the luminosity, and derived quantities, like the total mass, to…
We study the properties of dark matter halos that contain star-forming galaxies at $1.43 \le z \le 1.74$ using the FMOS-COSMOS survey. The sample consists of 516 objects with a detection of the H$\alpha$ emission line, that represent the…
Galaxy clusters, the most massive, dark-matter-dominated, and most recently assembled structures in the Universe, are key tools for probing cosmology. However, uncertainties in scaling relations that connect cluster mass to observables like…

In this series of papers, we present a simulation-based model for the non-linear clustering of galaxies based on separate modelling of clustering in real space and velocity statistics. In the first paper, we present an emulator for the…
We present a comprehensive study of the galaxy size-stellar mass relation (SMR) at low redshift (z <= 0.125), using a large spectroscopic sample from the SDSS-DR13 survey. Our goal is to investigate how environment affects galaxy structural…
We present a study of the weak lensing inferred matter profiles $\Delta\Sigma(R)$ of 698 South Pole Telescope thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect selected and MCMF optically confirmed galaxy clusters in the redshift range $0.25 <z< 0.94$ that…
We use a very large simulation of structure growth in a LCDM universe -- the Millennium Simulation -- to study assembly bias, the fact that the large-scale clustering of haloes of given mass varies significantly with their assembly history.…
By means of high-resolution N-body simulations in a LambdaCDM cosmology, we verify that scaling relations similar to those observed for nearby galaxy clusters are also defined by their dark matter hosts; the slopes, however, are not the…
We measure the correlation of galaxy lensing and cosmic microwave background lensing with a set of galaxies expected to trace the matter density field. The measurements are performed using pre-survey Dark Energy Survey (DES) Science…
Measuring the distribution of mass on galaxy cluster scales is a crucial test of the Lambda CDM model, providing constraints on the nature of dark matter. Recent work investigating mass distributions of individual galaxy clusters using…
The clustering ratio is defined as the ratio between the correlation function and the variance of the smoothed overdensity field. In LCDM cosmologies not accounting for massive neutrinos, it has already been proved to be independent from…
Cold dark matter (CDM) constitutes most of the matter in the Universe. The interplay between dark and luminous matter in dense cosmic environments like galaxy clusters is studied theoretically using cosmological simulations. Observed…
