abstract

We present a Bayesian population modeling method to analyze the abundance of galaxy clusters identified by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) with a simultaneous mass calibration using weak gravitational lensing data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We discuss and validate the modeling choices with a particular focus on a robust, weak-lensing-based mass calibration using DES data. For the DES Year 3 data, we report a systematic uncertainty in weak-lensing mass calibration that increases from 1% at $z=0.25$ to 10% at $z=0.95$, to which we add 2% in quadrature to account for uncertainties in the impact of baryonic effects. We implement an analysis pipeline that joins the cluster abundance likelihood with a multi-observable likelihood for the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect, optical richness, and weak-lensing measurements for each individual cluster. We validate that our analysis pipeline can recover unbiased cosmological constraints by analyzing mocks that closely resemble the cluster sample extracted from the SPT-SZ, SPTpol ECS, and SPTpol 500d surveys and the DES Year 3 and HST-39 weak-lensing datasets. This work represents a crucial prerequisite for the subsequent cosmological analysis of the real dataset.

  1. Directional miscentering dependence in weak lensing mass bias

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the center of mass as the reference center reduces the anisotropic weak lensing mass bias from miscentering to below one percent in simulated galaxy clusters.

  2. Multiprobe Cosmology from the Abundance of SPT Clusters and DES Galaxy Clustering and Weak Lensing

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combining SPT cluster counts with DES galaxy clustering and weak lensing yields Ωm=0.300±0.017, σ8=0.797±0.026, and S8=0.796±0.013, 1.6σ below Planck, with a ∑mν<0.25 eV limit when combined with Planck.

  3. The FLAMINGO project: cosmology with the redshift dependence of weak gravitational lensing peaks

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The redshift distribution of high-SNR weak lensing peaks traces massive haloes and is insensitive to baryonic physics, making it a promising cosmological probe for Stage IV surveys.

  4. Interacting Dark Sector (ETHOS $n=0$): Cosmological Constraints from SPT Cluster Abundance with DES and HST Weak Lensing Data

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cluster abundance with weak-lensing masses sets the dark matter-dark radiation temperature ratio to ξ_DR < 0.098 at 95% credibility when combined with CMB and BAO data.
