Journal Article
Price-Whelan, A., Sipőcz, B., Günther, H., Lim, P., Crawford, S., Conseil, S., …Bamford, S. (2018). The Astropy Project: building an open-science project and status of the v2.0 core package. Astronomical Journal, 156(3), Article 123. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-3881/aabc4f

The Astropy Project supports and fosters the development of open-source and openly developed Python packages that provide commonly needed functionality to the astronomical community. A key element of the The Astropy Project supports and fosters the d... Read More about The Astropy Project: building an open-science project and status of the v2.0 core package.

Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV. Understanding the effects of imperfect membership on cluster mass estimation (2018)
Journal Article
Wojtak, R., Old, L., Mamon, G., Pearce, F., de Carvalho, R., Sifón, C., …Tempel, E. (2018). Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV. Understanding the effects of imperfect membership on cluster mass estimation. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 481(1), 324-340. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/sty2257

The primary difficulty in measuring dynamical masses of galaxy clusters from galaxy data lies in the separation between true cluster members from interloping galaxies along the line of sight. We study the impact of membership contamination and incomp... Read More about Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV.
