Cosmology with galaxy clusters: Impact of theoretical and observational systematic uncertainties

In this talk I focus on how the modelling of the mass-observable relation and the halo mass function can impact the accuracy and precision of cosmological constraints inferred from galaxy clusters. I present a new analysis of clusters detected in mm wavelengths by the Planck satellite, highlighting...

Description
Summary:In this talk I focus on how the modelling of the mass-observable relation and the halo mass function can impact the accuracy and precision of cosmological constraints inferred from galaxy clusters. I present a new analysis of clusters detected in mm wavelengths by the Planck satellite, highlighting the need of an improved description and calibration for the mass-observable relation. I also discuss how to improve our analysis in view of future cluster surveys, with a particular focus on the impact of the halo mass function calibration and the need for a universal definition.
