The X-CLASS survey: A catalogue of 1646 X-ray-selected galaxy clusters up to z1.5

E. Koulouridis, N. Clerc, T. Sadibekova +25

Cosmological probes based on galaxy clusters rely on cluster number counts and large-scale structure information. X-ray cluster surveys are well suited for this purpose, since they…

Synthetic simulations of the extragalactic sky seen by eROSITA. I. Pre-launch selection functions from Monte-Carlo simulations

N. Clerc, M. E. Ramos-Ceja, J. Ridl +15

Studies of galaxy clusters provide stringent constraints on models of structure formation. Provided that selection effects are under control, large X-ray surveys are well suited to…

Real space lensing reconstruction using cosmic microwave background polarization

Heather Prince, Kavilan Moodley, Jethro Ridl +1

We develop a method of reconstructing the lensing field from lensed CMB temperature and polarization maps in real space as an alternative to the harmonic space estimators currently…

eROSITA cluster cosmology forecasts: cluster temperature substructure bias

F. Hofmann, J. S. Sanders, N. Clerc +6

The eROSITA mission will provide the largest sample of galaxy clusters detected in X-ray to date (one hundred thousand expected). This sample will be used to constrain cosmological…

SPIDERS: Selection of spectroscopic targets using AGN candidates detected in all-sky X-ray surveys

T. Dwelly, M. Salvato, A. Merloni +19

SPIDERS (SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is an SDSS-IV survey running in parallel to the eBOSS cosmology project. SPIDERS will obtain optical spectroscopy for larg…

Cosmology with XMM galaxy clusters: the X-CLASS/GROND catalogue and photometric redshifts

J. Ridl, N. Clerc, T. Sadibekova +11

The XMM Cluster Archive Super Survey (X-CLASS) is a serendipitously-detected X-ray-selected sample of 845 galaxy clusters based on 2774 XMM archival observations and covering appro…

Tracing low-mass galaxy clusters with radio relics: the discovery of Abell 3527-bis

F. de Gasperin, H. T. Intema, J. Ridl +6

Galaxy clusters undergo mergers that can generate extended radio sources called radio relics. Radio relics are the consequence of merger-induced shocks that propagate in the intra…

The XXL survey: first results and future

M. Pierre, C. Adami, M. Birkinshaw +108

The XXL survey currently covers two 25 sq. deg. patches with XMM observations of ~10ks. We summarise the scientific results associated with the first release of the XXL data set, t…

SPIDERS: the spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray selected clusters of galaxies in SDSS-IV

Nicolas Clerc, Andrea Merloni, Yu-Ying Zhang +17

SPIDERS (The SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is a program dedicated to the homogeneous and complete spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray AGN and galaxy clusters over a…

The SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Overview and Early Data

Kyle S. Dawson, Jean-Paul Kneib, Will J. Percival +143

The Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will conduct novel cosmological observations using the BOSS spectrograph at Apache Point Observatory. Observations will…
