The Merian Survey: A Statistical Census of Bright Satellites of Sub-Milky Way-Mass Galaxies

Lucas S. Mandacarú Guerra, Jiaxuan Li, Yue Pan +9

Satellite populations provide sensitive tests of the galaxy-halo connection, but studies have largely focused on Milky Way (MW)-mass host galaxies or a small number of nearby dwarf…

Probing Projection Effects in Optically-Selected Clusters with Velocity Dispersions Outliers

K. Graham, T. E. Jeltema, C. -H. To +8

The evolution of galaxy cluster abundance is a powerful probe of cosmology, but its efficacy depends on our ability to understand and control for systematics in the selection and m…

Cluster finding with outskirt stellar masses and percolation

Pablo Avalos, Conghao Zhou, Tesla Jeltema +5

The abundance of galaxy clusters is a powerful cosmological probe, but optical cluster cosmology is limited by selection systematics, in particular the projection effects that affe…

OASIS: Observation-Aware Simulation-Based Inference via Distributional Matching

Arya Farahi, Conghao Zhou, Ritwik Vashistha

We introduce OASIS, a simulation-based inference framework for scientific settings where observations are distorted by measurement error, selection effects, and other survey-specif…

Accurate Galaxy Cluster Shear and Mass Calibration for LSST with AnaCal

Conghao Zhou, Xiangchong Li, Hao-Yi Wu +12

The observed abundance of galaxy clusters as a function of mass and redshift provides a powerful route to precision cosmology; a key challenge for cluster cosmology is to establish…
