Cosmology with the largest galaxy cluster surveys: Going beyond Fisher matrix forecasts
We make the first detailed MCMC likelihood study of cosmological constraints that are expected from some of the largest, ongoing and proposed, cluster surveys in different wave-bands and compare the estimates to the prevalent Fisher matrix forecasts. Mock catalogs of cluster counts expected from the surveys – eROSITA, WFXT, RCS2, DES and Planck, along with a mock dataset of follow-up mass calib...
متن کاملOptical Surveys for Galaxy Clusters
Optical surveys for galaxy clusters have been the major method for creating large cluster catalogs. We give a brief review of the history of optical searches of galaxy clusters, starting from that of Abell. The traditional application of this survey method suffers from contamination due to projection of galaxies along the line of sight, which becomes increasingly more severe at higher redshift....
متن کاملHigh redshift galaxy surveys
A brief overview on the current status of the census of the early universe population is given. Observational surveys of high redshift galaxies provide direct opportunities to witness the cosmic dawn and to have better understanding of how and when infant galaxies evolve into mature ones. It is a much more astronomical approach in contrast to the physical approach of to study the spatial fluctu...
متن کاملSimulated Submillimetre Galaxy Surveys
Current submillimetre surveys are hindered in their ability to reveal detailed information on the epoch of galaxy formation and the evolutionary history of a high-redshift starburst galaxy population. The difficulties are due to the small primary apertures (D < 15-m) of existing submil-limetre telescopes and the limited sensitivities of their first generation of bolometer cameras. This situatio...
متن کاملFaint galaxy surveys.
Various K band galaxy surveys have now established 2.2-m galaxy counts from K = 10 to K = 23. The K band counts rise slightly faster than a Euclidean slope to K = 17, at which point they turn over; beyond this magnitude, galaxies also become much bluer. Spectroscopic samples are available between K = 10 and 20 and show that the conventional distance laws hold rather precisely out to a redshift ...
