Clusters as cosmological probes

  • Clusters are the largest

clearly defined structures

  • Tracers of the large scale

structure of the Universe.

  • n(M,z): depends strongly on

Ωm, wDE and σ8

tracer of gravitational potential

  • Simple scaling relations

between observables (e.g. LX, TX) and mass.

  • Simple selection functions:

inconsistent with models with Ωm = 1

  • Models with Ωm = 0.3 give

a much better fit to the data.

Two-point statistics: the power spectrum

  • The power spectrum is the Fourier transform of ξ(r).

increasing luminosity

The power spectrum

  • Flux-limited samples suffer an important problem
  • Larger distances probed by more luminous clusters
  • Introduces a scale dependent distortion in the shape of P(k)

  • Shape of P(k) for flux-limited

samples is distorted.

  • This introduces biases in the
  • btained constraints
  • PVP estimator corrects for this

effect giving good agreement with volume limited samples

  • REFLEX was the largest statistically complete X-ray selected

cluster sample.

  • Large impact in cosmology: helped to establish the

concordance cosmological model.

  • This legacy will be continued by the REFLEX II & NORAS II
  • The goal: robust constraints on cosmological parameters with

clusters of galaxies.

Constraints on cosmological parameters

constraints:

  • With CMB + shape of

P(k) wDE ~ 20%

  • Full P(k) information + Φ
