Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Mis-centering calibration and X-ray-richness scaling relations in redMaPPer clusters

P. Kelly, J. Jobel, O. Eiger +76

We use Dark Energy Survey Year 3 (DES Y3) clusters with archival X-ray data from XMM-Newton and Chandra to assess the centering performance of the redMaPPer cluster finder and to m…

The XMM Cluster Survey: Exploring scaling relations and completeness of the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 redMaPPer cluster catalogue

E. W. Upsdell, P. A. Giles, A. K. Romer +67

We cross-match and compare characteristics of galaxy clusters identified in observations from two sky surveys using two completely different techniques. One sample is optically sel…

A Spectroscopic Road Map for Cosmic Frontier: DESI, DESI-II, Stage-5

David J. Schlegel, Simone Ferraro, Greg Aldering +62

In this white paper, we present an experimental road map for spectroscopic experiments beyond DESI. DESI will be a transformative cosmological survey in the 2020s, mapping 40 milli…
