Weak Lensing Mass Determination of Eight X-ray Selected Galaxy Clusters from the 400d Survey
(2011-01-19)
Evolution in the mass function of galaxy clusters sensitively traces both the expansion history of the Universe and cosmological structure formation. Hence, measuring the number density of galaxy clusters as a function of ...
Studying Galaxy-Galaxy Lensing and Higher-Order Galaxy-Mass Correlations Using the Halo Model
(2009-06-22)
In recent years, the distribution of galaxies in the Universe could be measured up to large distances and over a significant part of the sky. The analysis of this large-scale structure contains a wealth of cosmological ...
Cosmic Shear and the Intrinsic Alignment of Galaxies
(2010-11-12)
Cosmology has recently entered an era of increasingly rich observational data sets, all being in agreement with a cosmological standard model that features only a small number of free parameters. One of the most powerful ...
Exploring Dark Matter Properties from the Smallest to the Largest Scales
(2004)
One of the main problems in cosmology is to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, galaxy clusters, and large-scale structure. Whereas the basics of the current Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm for structure ...
Weak lensing measurements for the APEX-SZ cluster survey
(2014-12-02)
The formation of structures in the universe, such as galaxy clusters, depends sensitively on cosmological parameters. Measuring the abundance of clusters as a function of mass and redshift therefore yields a way to constrain ...
Optical Data Analysis and its Application to Cosmology
(2016-03-30)
This work is concerned with different aspects of observational cosmology. It covers a broad range of problems that one needs to deal with in optical astronomy.
