Galaxy clusters discovered with a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect survey
Z. Staniszewski, P. A. R. Ade, K. A. Aird +41
The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is conducting a Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect survey over large areas of the southern sky, searching for massive galaxy clusters to high redshift. I…
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…
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…
MaxBCG: A Red Sequence Galaxy Cluster Finder
Benjamin P. Koester, Timothy A. McKay, James Annis +6
Measurements of galaxy cluster abundances, clustering properties, and mass to- light ratios in current and future surveys can provide important cosmological constraints. Digital wi…
