Large-scale clustering of galaxies in general relativity
Several recent studies have shown how to properly calculate the observed clustering of galaxies in a relativistic context, and uncovered corrections to the Newtonian calculation that become significant on scales near the horizon. Here, we retrace these calculations and show that, on scales approaching the horizon, the observed galaxy power spectrum ...

Observational constraints on general relativistic energy conditions, cosmic matter density and dark energy from X-ray clusters of galaxies and type-Ia supernovae [PDF]
New observational constraints on the cosmic matter density Ωm and an effectively redshift-independent equation of state parameter wx of the dark energy are obtained while simultaneously testing the strong and null energy conditions of general relativity ...

Star Cluster Demographics. I. A General Framework and Application to the Antennae Galaxies [PDF]
We present a framework for understanding the demographics of star cluster systems, and develop a toy model which incorporates a universal initial power law mass function, selected formation histories, selected disruption laws, and a convolution with common artifacts and selection effects found in observational data. The model confirms that the observed

Testing general relativity: New measurements of gravitational redshift in galaxy clusters [PDF]
Context.The peculiar velocity distribution of cluster member galaxies provides a powerful tool to directly investigate the gravitational potentials within galaxy clusters and to test the gravity theory on megaparsec scales.Aims.We exploit spectroscopic galaxy and galaxy cluster samples extracted from the latest releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (

An investigation of cooling flows and general cluster properties from an X-ray image deprojection analysis of 207 clusters of galaxies [PDF]
We present an X-ray image deprojection analysis of Einstein Observatory imaging data on 207, clusters of galaxies. The resulting radial profiles for luminosity, temperature, and electron density variations are determined from the cluster surface ...

Gas, Iron, and Gravitational Mass in Galaxy Clusters: The General Lack of Cluster Evolution at z < 1.0 [PDF]
We have analyzed the ASCA data of 29 nearby clusters of galaxies systematically, and obtained temperatures, iron abundances, and X-ray luminosities of their intracluster medium (ICM). We also estimated the ICM mass using the β model, and then evaluated the iron mass contained in the ICM and derived the total gravitating mass. This gives the largest and

Gravitational theory of cosmology, galaxies and galaxy clusters [PDF]
A modified gravitational theory explains early universe and late time cosmology, galaxy and galaxy cluster dynamics. The modified gravity (MOG) theory extends general relativity (GR) by three extra degrees of freedom: a scalar field G, enhancing the ...
