Optical Cluster Cosmology with SDSS redMaPPer clusters and HSC-Y3 lensing measurements

Understand

We present cosmology results obtained from a blind joint analysis of the abundance, projected clustering, and weak lensing of galaxy clusters measured from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) redMaPPer cluster catalog and the Hyper-Suprime Cam (HSC) Year3 shape catalog.

• We present a full-forward model for the cluster observables, which includes empirical modeling for the anisotropic boosts on the lensing and clustering signals of optical clusters.
• We validate our analysis via mock cluster catalogs which include observational systematics, such as the projection effect and the effect of baryonic feedback, and find that our analysis can robustly constrain cosmological parameters in an unbiased manner without any informative priors on our model parameters.
• The joint analysis of our observables in the context of the flat $\Lambda$CDM model results in cosmological constraints for $S_8\equiv \sigma_8 \sqrt{\Omega_{\rm m} / 0.3}=0.816^{+0.041}_{-0.039}$.
