Cosmology and astrophysics with galaxy clusters

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2014
Galaxy clusters are the largest gravitationally bound objects in the universe, whose formation is driven by dark energy and dark matter. The majority of the baryonic mass in clusters resides in the hot X-ray emitting plasma, which also leaves imprints in the cosmic microwave background radiation.

Assortment in the Galaxy

Nature, 2009
Observations of star clusters in the Milky Way defy the view that the constituents of these systems are almost invariably chemically alike. The outlying clusters could be the tattered relics of once larger systems.

Monstrous galaxies unmasked

Nature, 2015
The enigma of how the most luminous galaxies arise is closer to being solved. New simulations show that these are long-lived massive galaxies powered by prodigious gas infall and the recycling of supernova-driven outflows. See Letter p.496 Due in part to their extreme infrared luminosities, it has ...

Astrophysics in the Next Decade: The Evolution of Galaxies

2009
One of the primary goals of observational cosmology is to understand how galaxies form and evolve into the current population of objects we observe around us today. The redshift range, 1.5 ⩽ z ⩽ 3.5 represents a crucial epoch for observing the assembly of the modern galaxy population, which is largely in place by z ∼ 1.

Cosmology and Astrophysics with Clusters of Galaxies (Invited)

2004
I discuss the role that X-ray galaxy clusters plays in the determination of cosmological parameter. In particular I focus the discussion on the evolution of the cluster mass function for the determination of the density parameter Ωm and the normalization of the power spectrum σ8. Available constraints indicate that Ωm lies in the range 0.2–0.5, with σ8

Detailed astrophysical properties of Lyman Break Galaxies

2003
A large statistical sample of z~3 galaxies has been efficiently UV-color-selected, and confirmed spectroscopically. Here we present additional observations providing insight into the physical conditions in these Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs), selected to be rapidly forming stars when the universe was ~15% of its current age.

Enhanced cobweb clustering for identifying analog galaxies in astrophysics

2014 IEEE 27th Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE), 2014
Clustering, a very popular task in Data Mining, is unsupervised classification of patterns (observations, data items, or feature vectors) into groups (clusters). Clustering has been explored in many different contexts and disciplines. In this paper, we explore using the COBWEB clustering algorithm to identify and group together galaxies whose spectral ...
