The Blanco Cosmology Survey: Data Acquisition, Processing, Calibration, Quality Diagnostics and Data Release
S. Desai, R. Armstrong, J. J. Mohr +17
The Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS) is a 60 night imaging survey of 80 deg of the southern sky located in two fields: (,)= (5 hr, ) and (23 hr, $-55^{\ci…
The XMM-BCS galaxy cluster survey: I. The X-ray selected cluster catalog from the initial 6 deg
R. Šuhada, J. Song, H. Böhringer +19
The XMM-Newton - Blanco Cosmology Survey project (XMM-BCS) is a coordinated X-ray, optical and mid-infrared cluster survey in a field also covered by Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect surv…
The serendipitous observation of a gravitationally lensed galaxy at z = 0.9057 from the Blanco Cosmology Survey: The Elliot Arc
E. J. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin, E. R. Drabek +17
We report on the serendipitous discovery in the Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS) imaging data of a z = 0.9057 galaxy that is being strongly lensed by a massive galaxy cluster at a red…
Robust Optical Richness Estimation with Reduced Scatter
E. S. Rykoff, B. P. Koester, E. Rozo +7
Reducing the scatter between cluster mass and optical richness is a key goal for cluster cosmology from photometric catalogs. We consider various modifications to the red-sequence…
A Multiband Study of the Galaxy Populations of the First Four Sunyaev--Zeldovich Effect selected Galaxy Clusters
A. Zenteno, J. Song, S. Desai +22
We present first results of an examination of the optical properties of the galaxy populations in SZE selected galaxy clusters. Using clusters selected by the South Pole Telescope…
Feedback under the microscope II: heating, gas uplift, and mixing in the nearest cluster core
N. Werner, A. Simionescu, E. T. Million +11
Using a combination of deep 574ks Chandra data, XMM-Newton high-resolution spectra, and optical Halpha+NII images, we study the nature and spatial distribution of the multiphase pl…
