Physics at the Outskirts of Galaxy Clusters
Chihway Chang
University of Chicago
In recent years, the outskirts of galaxy clusters has emerged as a powerful
location to study dark matter and gravity. In particular, a feature at
the boundary of galaxy clusters, known as splashback, encodes dynamical
information about how the cluster formed. This feature can be used to
study different models of dark matter and gravity. In this talk I will
present a series of analyses studying the large-scale profiles of galaxy
clusters using both optical and millimeter wave data.
