Combining Planck and SPT cluster catalogs: cosmological analysis and impact on Planck scaling relation calibration

L. Salvati, A. Saro, S. Bocquet +41

We provide the first combined cosmological analysis of South Pole Telescope (SPT) and Planck cluster catalogs. The aim is to provide an independent calibration for Planck scaling r…

Improving cosmological constraints from galaxy cluster number counts with CMB-cluster-lensing data: Results from the SPT-SZ survey and forecasts for the future

P. S. Chaubal, C. L. Reichardt, N. Gupta +40

We show the improvement to cosmological constraints from galaxy cluster surveys with the addition of CMB-cluster lensing data. We explore the cosmological implications of adding ma…

Synthesizing Stellar Populations in South Pole Telescope Galaxy Clusters: I. Ages of Quiescent Member Galaxies at 0.3 < z < 1.4

Gourav Khullar, Matthew B. Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders +14

Using stellar population synthesis models to infer star formation histories (SFHs), we analyse photometry and spectroscopy of a large sample of quiescent galaxies which are members…

Shocks in the Stacked Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Profiles of Clusters II: Measurements from SPT-SZ + Planck Compton-y Map

D. Anbajagane, C. Chang, B. Jain +43

We search for the signature of cosmological shocks in stacked gas pressure profiles of galaxy clusters using data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Specifically, we stack the la…

The Parameter-Level Performance of Covariance Matrix Conditioning in Cosmic Microwave Background Data Analyses

L. Balkenhol, C. L. Reichardt

Empirical estimates of the band power covariance matrix are commonly used in cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum analyses. While this approach easily captures correlat…

Constraining Cluster Virialization Mechanism and Cosmology using Thermal-SZ-selected clusters from Future CMB Surveys

Srinivasan Raghunathan, Nathan Whitehorn, Marcelo A. Alvarez +7

We forecast the number of galaxy clusters that can be detected via the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) signals by future cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments, primarily th…
