Euclid preparation III. Galaxy cluster detection in the wide photometric survey, performance and algorithm selection

Euclid Collaboration, R. Adam, M. Vannier +56

Galaxy cluster counts in bins of mass and redshift have been shown to be a competitive probe to test cosmological models. This method requires an efficient blind detection of clust…

Linear bias forecasts for emission line cosmological surveys

Alexander Merson, Alex Smith, Andrew Benson +2

We forecast the linear bias for H-emitting galaxies at high redshift. To simulate a Euclid-like and a WFIRST-like survey, we place galaxies into a large-volume dark matter…

Can We Detect the Color-Density Relation with Photometric Redshifts?

Chuan-Chin Lai, Lihwai Lin, Hung-Yu Jian +6

A variety of methods have been proposed to define and to quantify galaxy environments. While these techniques work well in general with spectroscopic redshift samples, their applic…
