An Improved Cluster Richness Estimator
Eduardo Rozo, Eli S. Rykoff, Benjamin P. Koester +11
Minimizing the scatter between cluster mass and accessible observables is an important goal for cluster cosmology. In this work, we introduce a new matched filter richness estimato…
The L_X--M relation of Clusters of Galaxies
E. S. Rykoff, A. E. Evrard, T. A. McKay +8
We present a new measurement of the scaling relation between X-ray luminosity and total mass for 17,000 galaxy clusters in the maxBCG cluster sample. Stacking sub-samples within fi…
Cross-correlation Weak Lensing of SDSS galaxy Clusters II: Cluster Density Profiles and the Mass--Richness Relation
David E. Johnston, Erin S. Sheldon, Risa H. Wechsler +7
We interpret and model the statistical weak lensing measurements around 130,000 groups and clusters of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey presented by Sheldon et al. 2007 (Pa…
The Mean and Scatter of the Velocity Dispersion-Optical Richness Relation for maxBCG Galaxy Clusters
M. R. Becker, T. A. McKay, B. Koester +9
The distribution of galaxies in position and velocity around the centers of galaxy clusters encodes important information about cluster mass and structure. Using the maxBCG galaxy…
A MaxBCG Catalog of 13,823 Galaxy Clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
B. P. Koester, T. A. McKay, J. Annis +23
We present a catalog of galaxy clusters selected using the maxBCG redsequence method from Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric data. This catalog includes 13,823 clusters with velo…
