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…
