Measuring the scatter of the mass-richness relation in galaxy clusters in photometric imaging surveys by means of their correlation function

Julia Campa, Brenna Flaugher, Juan Estrada

Knowledge of the scatter in the mass-observable relation is a key ingredient for a cosmological analysis based on galaxy clusters in a photometric survey. In this paper we aim to q…
