Prospects for high-z cluster detections with Planck, based on a follow-up of 28 candidates using MegaCam@CFHT

R. F. J. van der Burg, H. Aussel, G. W. Pratt +13

The Planck catalogue of SZ sources limits itself to a significance threshold of 4.5 to ensure a low contamination rate by false cluster candidates. This means that only the most ma…
