The concentration-virial mass (c-M) relation is a fundamental scaling relation within the standard cold dark matter ($\Lambda$CDM) framework well established in numerical simulations. However, observational constraints of this relation are…
(Abriged) Assuming that the hydrostatic equilibrium holds between the intracluster medium and the gravitational potential, we constrain the NFW profiles in a sample of 44 X-ray luminous galaxy clusters observed with XMM-Newton in the…
Abundance of rich clusters in local universe is currently believed to provide the most robust normalization of power spectrum at a scale of 10 Mpc. This normalization depends very sensitively on the calibration between virial mass M and…
Numerical simulations of structure formation have suggested that there exists a good correlation between the halo concentration c (or the characteristic density delta_c) and the virial mass Mvir for any virialized dark halo described by the…
The main uncertainty in current determinations of the power spectrum normalization, sigma_8, from abundances of X-ray luminous galaxy clusters arises from the calibration of the mass-temperature relation. We use our weak lensing mass…
We present a weak-lensing analysis of X-ray galaxy groups and clusters selected from the XMM-XXL survey using the first-year data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program. Our joint weak-lensing and X-ray analysis focuses…
We present radial mass profiles within 0.3 r_vir for 16 relaxed galaxy groups-poor clusters (kT range 1-3 keV) selected for optimal mass constraints from the Chandra and XMM data archives. After accounting for the mass of hot gas, the…
We use hydrodynamical simulations of different dark energy cosmologies to investigate the concentration-mass (c-M) relation in galaxy clusters. In particular, we consider a reference \Lambda CDM model, two quintessence models with inverse…
The concentration-mass relations proposed by Prada et al. (2012) and by Duffy et al. (2008) on the scales of galaxy clusters show some of the largest discrepancies among all the works present in literature. This is surprising because they…
Dark matter-dominated cluster-scale halos act as an important cosmological probe and provide a key testing ground for structure formation theory. Focusing on their mass profiles, we have carried out (gravity-only) simulations of the…
Scaling relations of clusters have made them particularly important cosmological probes of structure formation. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the relation between two profile observables, concentration…
We investigate galaxy clustering and galaxy-mass correlations in the LCDM cosmological model using a large volume SPH simulation. For the most part, the predicted biases between galaxies and dark matter lead to good agreement with current…
Observational determinations of the correlation between the characteristic density delta_c and the virial mass M_vir of dark halos constitute a critical test for models of hierarchical structure formation. Using the dynamical properties of…
The concentration-mass relation for dark matter-dominated halos is one of the essential results expected from a theory of structure formation. We present a simple prediction scheme, a cosmic emulator, for the c-M relation as a function of…

The 3rd year WMAP results mark a shift in best fit values of cosmological parameters compared to the 1st year data and the concordance cosmological model. We test the consistency of the new results with previous constraints on cosmological…
We present a new measurement of the scaling relation between X-ray luminosity and total mass for 17,000 galaxy clusters in the maxBCG cluster sample. Stacking sub-samples within fixed ranges of optical richness, N_200, we measure the mean…

We study the relation between the rms mass fluctuations on 8$h^{-1}$Mpc scales and $\Omega_{\rm m}$ using the recent clustering results of XMM-{\it Newton} soft (0.5-2 keV) X-ray sources, which have a median redshift of $z\sim 1.2$. The…
