The STAGES Supercluster: A challenge for semi-analytical models? Rhys Rhodes The University of Nottingham 25 th June 2008 Meghan Gray and Frazer Pearce

The STAGES field Multiwavelength survey of the complex Abell 901/902 supercluster (4 clusters?) Aim to explore the environmental drivers of galaxy evolution Hubble imaging, ground based 17-band imaging (photo-z), XMM Weak lensing from HST data reveals DM distribution

A901a A901b A902 SW group Image: Heymans et al 2008

galaxy luminosity density mass map galaxy number density Is this a challenge?

Croton model Number of galaxies Mass of cluster M 200

A more direct comparison Count galaxies down a fixed width column of 450 h -1 Kpc for every cluster in the simulation Introduce a magnitude cut of M v < -17

? Is this a challenge?: Not as we thought

A902? A901a/b difference in N gal is reproduced in models A902 has ~twice the maximum number of galaxies predicted for its mass These columns are only cut through the galaxies within the DM halos of the clusters A902 also has two BGCs and two DM mass peaks

Another look at A902

A pair of clusters Two clusters in projection would give a combined lensing mass From previous plot two halos of half the mass would have ~correct N gal Searched through halo catalogue for pairs of halos with combined mass of A902 Cut columns through depth of both halo centres out to +/- 2Mpc with 450kpc radius

Paired Clusters

Thinner Cut

Histograms

3D Distributions 4 Mpc Separation

Conclusions A901a/A901b galaxy count difference reproduced Models suggest A902 may be a pair of clusters along the line of sight So far the STAGES field has produced nothing which causes problems for the millennium galaxy models (sorry) However by comparing observations of our field with simulations we may have learned something about its structure
