Constraints on radio source clustering towards galaxy clusters: application for cm-wavelength simulations of blind sky surveys

Abstract

We constrain radio source clustering towards $Planck$-selected galaxy clusters using the NVSS point source catalogue. The constraint can be utilised for generating realistic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) mocks, and for predicting detectable clusters count and quantifying source confusion in radio surveys.
