Cosmological Studies With A Large-Area X-ray Telescope (2009)
Vikhlinin, A., Allen, S. W., Arnaud, M., Bautz, M., Boehringer, H., Bonamente, M., ...
A moderate investment of observing time with the International X-ray Observatory to study high-redshift galaxy clusters detected in future large-scale surveys, will provide cosmological measurements...
Galaxy Cluster Astrophysics and Cosmology: Questions and Opportunities for the Coming Decade (2009)
Myers, S. T., Pfrommer, C., Aguirre, J., Bond, J. R., Burns, J. O., Clarke, T., ...
We are learning much about how structure forms, in particular how clusters as nodes in the cosmic web evolve and accrete matter, and about the physical processes within these objects. In the next...
Towards the 2020 vision of the baryon content of galaxy groups and clusters (2009)
Kravtsov, A., Gonzalez, A., Vikhlinin, A., Marrone, D., Zabludoff, A., Nagai, D., ...
Groups and clusters of galaxies occupy a special position in the hierarchy of large-scale cosmic structures because they are the largest and the most massive (from ~10^13 Msun to over 10^15 Msun)...
Chandra Cluster Cosmology Project III: Cosmological Parameter Constraints (2008)
Vikhlinin, A., Kravtsov, A. V., Burenin, R. A., Ebeling, H., Forman, W. R., Hornstrup, A., ...
Chandra observations of large samples of galaxy clusters detected in X-rays by ROSAT provide a new, robust determination of the cluster mass functions at low and high redshifts. Statistical and...
Mroczkowski, T., Bonamente, M., Carlstrom, J. E., Culverhouse, T. L., Greer, C., Hawkins, D., ...
We investigate the utility of a new, self-similar pressure profile for fitting Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect observations of galaxy clusters. Current SZ imaging instruments - such as the...
Chandra Cluster Cosmology Project II: Samples and X-ray Data Reduction (2008)
Vikhlinin, A., Burenin, R. A., Ebeling, H., Forman, W. R., Hornstrup, A., Jones, C., ...
We discuss the measurements of the galaxy cluster mass functions at z=~0.05 and z=~0.5 using high-quality Chandra observations of samples derived from the ROSAT PSPC All-Sky and 400deg^2 surveys. We...
X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Measurements of the Gas Mass Fraction in Galaxy Clusters (2006)
LaRoque, S., Bonamente, M., Carlstrom, J., Joy, M., Nagai, D., Reese, E., ...
We present gas mass fractions of 38 massive galaxy clusters spanning redshifts from 0.14 to 0.89, derived from Chandra X-ray data and OVRO/BIMA interferometric Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect measurements....
Measurement of Arcminute Scale Anisotropy with the BIMA Array (2002)
Dawson, K. S., Holzapfel, W. L., Carlstrom, J. E., LaRoque, S. J., Miller, A., Nagai, D., ...
We report the results of our continued study of arcminute scale anisotropy in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) with the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Array. The survey consists of ten independent...
A multiphase model for the intracluster medium (2000)
Nagai, D, Sulkanen, ME, Evrard, AE
Constraints on the clustered mass density Omega(m) of the Universe derived from the observed population mean intracluster gas fraction [f(ICM)] of X-ray clusters may be biased by reliance on a...
A Multiphase Model for the Intracluster Medium (1999)
Nagai, D., Sulkanen, M. E., Evrard, A. E.
Constraints on the clustered mass density \Omega_m of the universe derived from the mean intracluster gas fraction of X-ray clusters may be biased by a single-phase assumption for the thermodynamic...
