This disparity reflects the difference in complexity of these rather dissimilar N-body problems. The significant increase in N in the last decade was driven by the usage of parallel computers.

Hst Frontier Fields Preliminary Map Modeling
HST FRONTIER FIELDS PRELIMINARY MAP MODELING CATs Team (Clusters As Telescopes) Johan Richard (CRAL Lyon), Benjamin Clement (University of Arizona), Mathilde Jauzac (University of KwaZulu-Natal), Eric Jullo (LAM Marseille), Marceau Limousin (LAM, Marseille), Harald Ebeling (IfA, Hawaii), Priyamvada Natarajan (Yale University), Jean-Paul Kneib (EPFL Lausanne) & Eiichi Egami (University of Arizona). RECONSTRUCTION METHODOLOGY Producing a magnification map involves solving the lens equation for light rays originating from distant sources and deflected by the massive foreground cluster. This is ultimately an inversion problem for which several sets of codes and approaches have been developed independently (see recent review by Kneib & Natarajan 2010). Our collaboration uses LENSTOOL1, an algorithm developed collectively by us over the years. LENSTOOL is a hybrid code that combines observational strong- and weak-lensing data to constrain the cluster mass model. The total mass distribution of clusters is assumed to consist of several smooth, large-scale potentials that are modeled either in a parametric form or non-parametrically, along with contributions from many (typically N > 50) individual cluster galaxies that are modeled using physically motivated parametric forms. For lensing clusters a multi-scale approach is optimal, in as much as the constraints resulting from this inversion exercise are derived from a range of scales. Further details of the methodology are outlined in Jullo & Kneib (2009) and have been extended to the weak-lensing regime (Jauzac et al. 2012). At present, the prevailing modeling approach is to assign a small-scale dark-matter clump to each major cluster galaxy and a large-scale dark-matter clump to prominent concentrations of cluster galaxies (Natarajan & Kneib 1997). -

Where Are the Missing Baryons in Clusters?
1 Where Are the Missing Baryons in Clusters? Bilhuda Rasheed Adviser: Dr. Neta Bahcall Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Department of Astrophysical Sciences Princeton University May 2010 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. I authorize Princeton University to lend this thesis to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Bilhuda Rasheed I further authorize Princeton University to reproduce this thesis by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Bilhuda Rasheed Abstract We address previous claims that the baryon fraction in clusters is significantly below the cosmic value of the baryon fraction as determined from WMAP 7-year results. We use X-ray and SZ observations to determine the slope of the gas density profile to R200. This is shallower than the slope of total mass density (NFW) profile. We use the gas density slope to extrapolate the X-ray observations of gas fraction at R500 to the virial radius (R100). The gas fraction increases beyond R500 for all cluster masses. We add the stellar fraction as determined from COSMOS and 2MASS samples, with ICL contributing 10% to the stellar fraction. For massive clusters 14 (M500 ∼ 7 × 10 M ), the baryon fraction reaches the cosmic baryon fraction at Rvir± 20%. Poorer clusters and groups typically reach 75–85% of the cosmic baryon fraction at the virial radius. We compare these results with simulations which take into account gravitational shock-heating, star formation, heating from SNe and AGN, and energy transfer from dark matter. -
