Gravitational Redshifts in Simulated Galaxy Clusters
We predict the amplitude of the gravitational redshift of galaxies in galaxy clusters using an N-body simulation of ΛCDM universe. We examine if it might be possible to detect the gravitational effect on the total redshift observed for galaxies. For clusters of mass M ∼ 10hM⊙, the difference in gravitational redshift between the brightest galaxy and the rest of the cluster members is ∼ 10 km s....
متن کاملCharacterizing the Shapes of Galaxy Clusters Using Moments of the Gravitational Lensing Shear
We explore the use of the tangential component of weak lensing shear to characterize the ellipticity of clusters of galaxies. We introduce an ellipticity estimator, and quantify its properties for isolated clusters from ΛCDM N-body simulations. We compare the N-body results to results from smooth analytic models. The expected distribution of the estimator for mock observations is presented, and...
متن کاملGravitational waves from galaxy clusters: A new observable effect
A rich galaxy cluster showing strong resemblance with the observed ones is simulated. Cold dark matter spectrum, Gaussian statistics, flat universe, and two components – baryonic gas plus dark matter particles – are considered. We have calculated the gravitational-wave output during the epoch of the fully nonlinear and nonsymmetric cluster evolution. The amplitudes and frequencies of the result...
متن کاملMassive galaxy clusters as gravitational telescopes for distant supernovae
We investigate the potential of using massive clusters as gravitational telescopes for searches and studies of supernovae of Type Ia and Type II in optical and near-infrared bands at central wavelengths in the interval 0.8-1.25 μm. Using high-redshift supernova rates derived from the measured star formation rate, we find the most interesting effects for the detection of core-collapse SNe in sea...
متن کاملGravitational lensing of type Ia supernovae by galaxy clusters
We propose a method to remove the mass sheet degeneracy that arises when the mass of galaxy clusters is inferred from gravitational shear. The method utilizes high-redshift standard candles that undergo weak lensing. Natural candidates for such standard candles are type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). When corrected with the light-curve shape (LCS), the peak magnitude of SN Ia provides a standard candle...
