Satellite galaxies can be used to indicate the dynamic mass of galaxy groups and clusters. In this study, we apply the axisymmetric Jeans Anisotropic Multi-Gaussian Expansion (JAM) modeling to satellite galaxies in 28 galaxy clusters selected from th...

What to expect from dynamical modelling of galactic haloes (2017)
Journal Article

Many dynamical models of the Milky Way halo require assumptions that the distribution function of a tracer population should be independent of time (i.e. a steady-state distribution function) and that the underlying potential is spherical. We study t... Read More about What to expect from dynamical modelling of galactic haloes.

Aims. We aim to study the 250 μm luminosity function (LF) down to much fainter luminosities than achieved by previous efforts. Methods. We developed a modified stacking method to reconstruct the 250 μm LF using optically selected galaxies from the SD... Read More about The faint end of the 250 μm luminosity function at z < 0.5.
