The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey
The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a new galaxy cluster survey designed to provide a large sample of optically selected 0.1<z<1.4 clusters. The planned survey data are 100 square degrees of two color (R and z) imaging, with a 5σ depth ∼2 mag past M at z = 1. The combined depth and area of the RCS make it the widest field, moderately deep survey ever undertaken using 4m class telescopes. T...
متن کاملMaxBCG: A Red Sequence Galaxy Cluster Finder
Measurements of galaxy cluster abundances, clustering properties, and massto-light ratios in current and future surveys can provide important cosmological constraints. Digital wide-field imaging surveys, the recently-demonstrated fidelity of red-sequence cluster detection techniques, and a new generation of realistic mock galaxy surveys provide the means for construction of large, cosmologicall...
متن کاملRed Sequence Cluster Finding in the Millennium Simulation
We investigate halo mass selection properties of red-sequence cluster finders using galaxy populations of the Millennium Simulation (MS). A clear red sequence exists for MS galaxies in massive halos at redshifts z < 1, and we use this knowledge to inform a cluster-finding algorithm applied to 500h Mpc projections of the simulated volume. At low redshift (z = 0.4), we find that 90% of the cluste...
متن کاملCosmological Constraints from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey
We present a first cosmological analysis of a refined cluster catalog from the RedSequence Cluster Survey (RCS). The input cluster sample is derived from 72.07 square degrees of imaging data, and represents a deep uniform subset of the imaging data available within the RCS survey images which probes to the highest redshift and lowest mass limits. The catalog contains 956 clusters over 0.35 < z ...
متن کاملFirst weak lensing results from the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey
The Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) is a 100 deg galaxy cluster survey designed to provide a large sample of optically selected clusters of galaxies with redshifts 0.1 < z < 1.4. The survey data are also useful for a variety of lensing studies. Several strong lensing clusters have been discovered so far, and follow up observations are underway. In these proceedings we present some of the firs...
