CoMaLit III. Literature Catalogs of weak Lensing Clusters of galaxies (LC^2)

Abstract

The measurement of the mass of clusters of galaxies is crucial for their use in cosmology and astrophysics. Masses can be efficiently determined with weak lensing (WL) analyses. I compiled Literature Catalogs of weak Lensing Clusters (LC${}^2$). Cluster identifiers, coordinates, and redshifts have been standardised. WL masses were reported to over-densities of 2500, 500, 200, and to the virial one in the reference $\hat{I}›$CDM model. Duplicate entries were carefully handled. I produced three catalogs: LC${}^2$-single, with 485 unique groups and clusters analysed with the single-halo model; LC${}^2$-substructure, listing substructures in complex systems; LC${}^2$-all, listing all the 822 WL masses found in literature. The catalogs and future updates are publicly available at http://pico.bo.astro.it/~sereno/CoMaLit/LC2/.
