Weak lensing clusters from HSC survey first-year data: Mitigating the dilution effect of foreground and cluster member galaxies

Abstract

We present a weak lensing cluster search using Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC survey) first-year data. We pay special attention to the dilution effect of cluster member and foreground galaxies on weak lensing signals from clusters of galaxies; we adopt the globally normalized weak lensing estimator which is least affected by cluster member galaxies, and we select source galaxies by using photometric redshift information to mitigate the effect of foreground galaxies. We produce six samples of source galaxies with different low-$z$ galaxy cuts, construct weak lensing mass maps for each of the source sample, and search for high peaks in the mass maps that cover an effective survey area of $\sim$120 deg${}^2$. We combine six catalogs of high peaks into a sample of cluster candidates which contains 124 high peaks with signal-to-noise ratios greater than five. We cross-match the peak sample with the public optical cluster catalog constructed from the same HSC survey data to identify cluster counterparts of the peaks. We find that 107 out of 124 peaks have matched clusters within 5 arcmin from peak positions. Among them, we define a sub-sample of 64 secure clusters that we use to examine dilution effects on our weak lensing cluster search. We find that source samples with the low-$z$ galaxy cuts mitigate the dilution effect on weak lensing signals of high-$z$ clusters ($z>0.3$), and thus combining multiple peak catalogs from different source samples improves the efficiency of weak lensing cluster searches.
