    Void Statistics in Large Galaxy Redshift Surveys: Does Halo Occupation of Field Galaxies Depend on Environment?
    We use measurements of the projected galaxy correlation function wp(rp) and galaxy void statistics to test whether the galaxy content of halos of fixed mass is...

    XMM-Newton study of six massive, X-ray luminous galaxy cluster systems in the redshift range z = 0.25-0.5
    Massive galaxy clusters are interesting astrophysical and cosmological objects to study, but they are relatively rare. In the redshift range z = 0.25-0.5 which...
