A Detailed Study of Galaxy Clusters with Weak Gravitational Lensing and X-rays
(2012-07-17)
Galaxy clusters represent the top of hierarchical structure formation with the largest dark matter halos. Their abundance with respect to mass and redshift can be used to constrain cosmological parameters. The most extensive ...
Weak gravitational lensing analyses of clusters of galaxies
(2011-04-04)
Comprising the most massive gravitationally bound and relaxed structures in the Universe, galaxy clusters are essential in providing a deeper understanding of the properties of dark matter. Being cosmologically young ...
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 ...
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 ...
Forecasts for Galaxy Cluster Observations and Cosmological Implications from the eROSITA All-Sky Survey
(2016-04-19)
One of the most commonly asked questions in astrophysics today refers to the nature of dark energy. The characteristics of this parameter are imprinted in the large-scale structure of matter and accordingly also in the ......
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.
