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…

Calibrating optical galaxy cluster projection effects with sparse spectroscopic samples: A clustering redshift approach

Lei Yang, Hao-Yi Wu, Tesla Jeltema +3

Wide-field optical imaging surveys are efficient at identifying galaxy clusters, but optically identified clusters suffer from projection effects---physically unassociated galaxies…

Unifying cluster and galaxy cosmology analyses using the galaxy-halo connection

Shulei Cao, Hao-Yi Wu, Andrés N. Salcedo +3

Galaxies and galaxy clusters trace the same cosmic density field, but their statistics have been modeled separately in cosmological analyses. We present a unified, simulation-based…

What Galaxy Clusters Have to Say About Dynamical Dark Energy and

Andrés N. Salcedo, Eduardo Rozo, Hao-Yi Wu +4

We show that, in flat CDM, low-redshift structure probes -- cluster abundances, 32-point analyses, and full-shape clustering -- are mutually consistent, jointly deliveri…

Cosmological Constraints from Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Cluster Lensing and Abundances with Simulation-based Forward-Modeling

Andrés N. Salcedo, Eduardo Rozo, Hao-Yi Wu +7

We present a simulation-based forward-modeling framework for cosmological inference from optical galaxy-cluster samples, and apply it to the abundance and weak-lensing signals of D…

Impact of projection-induced optical selection bias on the weak lensing mass calibration of galaxy clusters

Titus Nyarko Nde, Hao-Yi Wu, Shulei Cao +4

Weak gravitational lensing signals of optically identified clusters are impacted by a selection bias -- halo triaxiality and large-scale structure along the line of sight simultane…

Association between optically identified galaxy clusters and the underlying dark matter halos

DES Collaboration, Shulei Cao, Hao-Yi Wu +10

Clusters of galaxies trace massive dark matter halos in the Universe, but they can include multiple halos projected along lines of sight. As a case study, we quantify the propertie…

Dark Energy Survey: Modeling strategy for multiprobe cluster cosmology and validation for the Full Six-year Dataset

Chun-Hao To, Elisabeth Krause, Chihway Chang +63

We introduce an updated To&Krause2021 model for joint analyses of cluster abundances and large-scale two-point correlations of weak lensing and galaxy and cluster clustering (terme…

Optical galaxy cluster mock catalogs with realistic projection effects: Validations with the SDSS clusters

Andy Lee, Hao-Yi Wu, Andrés N. Salcedo +9

Galaxy clusters identified in optical imaging surveys suffer from projection effects: Physically unassociated galaxies along a cluster's line of sight can be counted as its members…

Forecasting the constraints on optical selection bias and projection effects of galaxy cluster lensing with multiwavelength data

Conghao Zhou, Hao-Yi Wu, Andrés N. Salcedo +12

Galaxy clusters identified with optical imaging tend to suffer from projection effects, which impact richness (the number of member galaxies in a cluster) and lensing coherently. P…

Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Clusters are Consistent with Planck

Andrés N. Salcedo, Hao-Yi Wu, Eduardo Rozo +4

The recent Dark Energy Survey Year 1 (DES-Y1) analysis of galaxy cluster abundances and weak lensing produced and constraints in 5.6 tension with Planck. It is…

Impact of Property Covariance on Cluster Weak lensing Scaling Relations

Zhuowen Zhang, Arya Farahi, Daisuke Nagai +5

We present an investigation into a hitherto unexplored systematic that affects the accuracy of galaxy cluster mass estimates with weak gravitational lensing. Specifically, we study…

Not empty enough: a local void cannot solve the tension

Dragan Huterer, Hao-Yi Wu

We review arguably the simplest solution for the Hubble tension -- the possibility that we live in a void. In this scenario, the local Hubble constant is higher than the glob…

Incorporating galaxy cluster triaxiality in stacked cluster weak lensing analyses

Zhuowen Zhang, Hao-Yi Wu, Yuanyuan Zhang +10

Counts of galaxy clusters offer a high-precision probe of cosmology, but control of systematic errors will determine the accuracy of this measurement. Using Buzzard simulations, we…

The Effects of Halo Assembly Bias on Self-Calibration in Galaxy Cluster Surveys

Hao-Yi Wu, Eduardo Rozo, Risa H. Wechsler

Self-calibration techniques for analyzing galaxy cluster counts utilize the abundance and the clustering amplitude of dark matter halos. These properties simultaneously constrain c…
