Galaxy cluster detection in the wide photometric survey, performance and algorithm selection SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/304643 T3 - A1 - Euclid Collaboration; Adam, R.; Kurki-Suonio, H. A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - Galaxy cluster counts in bins of mass and redshift have been shown to be a competitive probe to test cosmological models. This method requires an efficient blind detection of clusters from surveys with a well-known selection function and robust mass estimates, which is particularly challenging at high redshift. The Euclid wide survey will cover 15 000 deg(2) of the sky, avoiding contamination by light from our Galaxy and our solar system in the optical and near-infrared bands, down to magnitude ...
