Almost 10 years back…
Weller, Battye & Kneissi 2002
Fixed Mlim --> so NO uncertainty in cluster physics --> unrealistic ,
good as first attempt.
Ncl = 13600
SNAP
Ncl = 5200
Ncl = 1972
Ncl =90
Problem is we have to deal with real clusters!
Large peak in matter density
– Dark matter clump (~80% of
mass)
– Many luminous galaxies (~2%:
10% of baryons)

• BCG and red sequence
• Additional galaxies
• Diffuse light
– Hot gas (~18%: 90% of baryons)
• Emits X-rays
• Causes SZ decrement in

Example - Lets talk about scatter…
Scatter can boost signal, ex: Cl’s or n(z)
Reason : shape of the mass function. Widens the range of possible masses
for fixed value of the observable
Include it by convolving the mass fn with distribution of the scatter
scaling
mass fn
Distribution of observable
Probability of assigning obs mass-true mass
Standard assumption: gaussian scatter in loglog plane

Self-Calibration - A paradigm shift in cluster cosmology
Use complimentary information from the survey itself
e.g. the mass dependence of bias / spatial distribution

3.
Using the cluster power spectrum and P(k) oscillations
Adding information from counts-in-cell
Shape of mass-function in redshift slices
(Majumdar & Mohr, Lima & Hu)
Unbiased parameter estimation with small error bars in the presence
of systematics.
This idea has now propagated to other fields in cosmology Weak Lensing
Galaxy Bias

Photo-z
Non-gaussianity from LSS etc

Self Calibration using Cluster Power Spectrum
Power spectrum of dark matter density fluctuations P(k)
– Clusters are biased: 20,000 clusters comparable to ~5x105
galaxies
– Turnover on large scales- “standard rod” calibrated by primary
From redshift surveys, we
CMB fluctuations
will get P(k) for free !
DUET P(k)
Unfortunately, only P(k)
gives almost no constraints
on `w’. Combined with CMB
priors, one can constraint
w ~ 25-30%
Things become interesting
when dn/dz and P(k) are
Combined.

We are in a little spot with recent SZE results…
•
•
•
Pre 2009 SPT/ACT surveys forecasted to yield 4-7clusters/deg
(Planck ~ 1000 to few 1000)
•
•
•
Post 2009 SPT/ACT finds 0.05-0.12 clusters/degsq
Also finds less SZ power in SZ Cl’s
Implication - Cosmological constraints are washed out !
So, will doing cosmology with clusters become secondary
science for these SZ surveys ?
Need to do something More with these surveys!
Our Options 1. Come up with new ideas for cluster surveys
2a) Make progress with understanding of cluster physics
(for cases wherecluster modeling cannot be avoided)
2b) Make atleast a useful ‘working’ model of cluster
3) Fall back on some old ideas of combining diff SZE
outputs

What about masses? -
For the cluster in SpARCS SOUTH
Vdisp = 1050 +/- 230 km/s
M = 9.4 +/- 6.2 x 1014 Msun
5.7 x 1014 Msun (from scaling)
z = 1.34
This cluster just should not exist !!
Or maybe a sign of non-gaussianity
We are working on it now.

A comparison of survey volumes …
SDSS: 10000 deg, z<0.5,
Vol ~ 7 Gpc3
SPT/ACT : 2000- 4000deg, z=0.1 -1, Vol ~ 7-14 Gpc3
RCS2: 900 deg, z=0.2-0.9,
Vol ~ 2.4 Gpc3 &
SpARCS ~ 0.5 Gpc3
350 deg, z=1-2
Vol ~ 3.6 Gpc3
high-z survey having smaller area has same leverage due to
Its higher volume!

Becoming more ambitious - More with Spitzer
Proposed, for ~3000 hours (i. e., 4 months of Spitzer time) making it a legacy
class survey:
The Spitzer Legacy Extremely Wide Survey (SLEWS)
PI: Jonathan Gardner (NASA) & Gillian Wilson (UCRiverside)
(Multi country, multi supportive PI from other surveys, huge team
Total members : 84 (with different backgrounds and expertise)
Roughly 59 (USA), 24 (Europe + Japan), 1 (India)
Basic coverage: 350 deg2 , 1< z < 2
Basic aim: a) To do clusters at high z
b) To do quasars at z>6.5 when reionization is about to occur and
there are probable stromgen spheres
Passed initial stages but finally lost to a ExoPlanet Survey :-(
