Galaxy Clusters Discovered via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect in the 2500-Square-Degree SPT-SZ Survey
Gladders, M. D.; Schrabback, T.; Rest, A. +71 more
We present a catalog of galaxy clusters selected via their Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signature from 2500 deg2 of South Pole Telescope (SPT) data. This work represents the complete sample of clusters detected at high significance in the 2500 deg2 SPT-SZ survey, which was completed in 2011. A total of 677 (409) cluster can…
The SWIFT AGN and Cluster Survey. I. Number Counts of AGNs and Galaxy Clusters
Bregman, Joel N.; Kochanek, Christopher S.; Dai, Xinyu +2 more
The Swift active galactic nucleus (AGN) and Cluster Survey (SACS) uses 125 deg2 of Swift X-ray Telescope serendipitous fields with variable depths surrounding γ-ray bursts to provide a medium depth (4× {{10}-15} erg cm-2 s-1) and area survey filling the gap between deep, narrow Chandra/XMM-Newton surveys…
The Swift X-Ray Telescope Cluster Survey. III. Cluster Catalog from 2005-2012 Archival Data
Giavalisco, Mauro; Rosati, Piero; Tozzi, Paolo +6 more
We present the Swift X-ray Cluster Survey (SWXCS) catalog obtained using archival data from the X-ray telescope (XRT) on board the Swift satellite acquired from 2005 February to 2012 November, extending the first release of the SWXCS. The catalog provides positions, soft fluxes, and, when possible, optical counterparts for a flux-limited sample of…
A CMB Gibbs Sampler for Localized Secondary Anisotropies
Bull, Philip; Ferreira, Pedro G.; Wehus, Ingunn K. +4 more
In addition to primary fluctuations, cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps contain a wealth of additional information in the form of secondary anisotropies. However, secondary effects that can be identified with individual objects, such as the thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (TSZ-KSZ) effects due to galaxy clusters, are difficu…
