In this paper, the authors presented a new technique for detecting galaxy clusters based on the Matched Filter Algorithm from a Bayesian point of view, which is able to determine the position, redshift and richness of the cluster through the maximization of a filter depending on galaxy luminosity, density and photometric redshift combined with a galaxy cluster prior that accounts for color-magnitude relations and BCG-redshift relation.Abstract:
The detection of galaxy clusters in present and future surveys enables measuring mass-to-light ratios, clustering properties, galaxy cluster abundances and therefore, constraining cosmological parameters. We present a new technique for detecting galaxy clusters, which is based on the Matched Filter Algorithm from a Bayesian point of view. The method is able to determine the position, redshift and richness of the cluster through the maximization of a filter depending on galaxy luminosity, density and photometric redshift combined with a galaxy cluster prior that accounts for color-magnitude relations and BCG-redshift relation. We tested the algorithm through realistic mock galaxy catalogs, revealing that the detections are 100% complete and 80% pure for clusters up to z $ $20 (Abell Richness $\sim$0, M$\sim4\times10^{14} M_{\odot}$). The completeness and purity remains approximately the same if we do not include the prior information, implying that this method is able to detect galaxy cluster with and without a well defined red sequence. We applied the algorithm to the CFHTLS Archive Research Survey (CARS) data, recovering similar detections as previously published using the same or deeper data plus additional clusters which appear to be real.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the assembly history of red galaxies since z = 1 by measuring their evolving space density with the B-band luminosity function, which is consistent with star-forming galaxies being transformed into L* red galaxies after a decline in their star formation rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe updates to the Redmapper{} algorithm, a photometric red-sequence cluster finder specifically designed for large photometric surveys, applied to data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 photometric data set.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of various galaxy-based cluster mass estimation techniques that utilize the positions, velocities and colours of galaxies is presented. But, the authors do not evaluate the performance of these methods on a diverse set of models that will increase in complexity.

AMICO: optimized detection of galaxy clusters in photometric surveys
TL;DR: AMICO as discussed by the authors is based on the Optimal Filtering technique, which allows to maximise the signal-to-noise ratio of the clusters, and provides a definition of membership probability for the galaxies close to any cluster candidate, allowing the detection of smaller structures.
