COOL CORE BIAS IN SUNYAEV–ZEL’DOVICH GALAXY CLUSTER SURVEYS

Sunyaev–Zel'dovich (SZ) surveys find massive clusters of galaxies by measuring the inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background off of intra-cluster gas. The cluster selection function from such surveys is expected to be nearly independent of redshift and cluster astrophysics. In t...
