While $r_{\rm sp}$ correlates with a smooth mass accretion rate (MAR) parameter $\Gamma_{\rm s}$ in the self-similar model, our simulations show a similar trend with the total MAR $\Gamma_{\rm vir}$ (includes both mergers and $\Gamma_{\rm s}$).

We show that the weak-lensing shear catalog, redMaGiC galaxy catalogs and redMaPPer cluster catalogs provide plausible realizations of the same catalogs in the DES Y1 data by comparing their magnitude, color and redshift distributions, angular clustering, and mass-observable relations, making them useful for testing analyses that use these samples.

We present the umbrella sampling (US) technique and show that it can be used to sample extremely low probability areas of the posterior distribution that may be required in statistical analyses of data.

Using data from SDSS, we explore the evidence for such a feature in the density profiles of galaxy clusters and investigate the connection between this feature and a possible phase space boundary.
