Exploiting Machine Learning and Disequilibrium in Galaxy Clusters to Obtain a Mass Profile

We use 3D k -means clustering to characterize galaxy substructure in the A2146 cluster of galaxies ( z = 0.2343). This method objectively characterizes the cluster’s substructure using projected position and velocity data for 67 galaxies within a 2.305 Mpc circular region centered on the cluster...
