cluster-matter cross correlation (profile & bias) stacking rank-ordered clusters: monotonic relation of the mean mass-observable no mass estimate of individual clusters no accurate relation to true cluster mass weak lensing of the stacked sample of clusters Cluster-Galaxy Weak Lensing PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
Why Robust? stacked sample PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
Why Robust? stacked sample PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
Why Robust? stacked sample ≅ mass-ordered clusters PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
Why Robust? stacked sample ≅ mass-ordered clusters works for arbitrary relation and bias PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
Cosmological Probe? stacked sample is set by cosmology! growth factor, volume, halo mass function (given number of clusters) constituent clusters are also different! PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
Prediction and Observable PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING angular diameter distance critical surface density
clusters provide high S/N (vs cosmic shear) spherical symmetric dark matter halo apparent lens center (central cD galaxies) stacking increases S/N → high redshift clusters tangential shear profile Why Better? clusters provide high S/N (vs cosmic shear) spherical symmetric dark matter halo apparent lens center (central cD galaxies) stacking increases S/N → high redshift clusters tangential shear profile PROBING DARK ENERGY WITH CLUSTER-GALAXY WEAK LENSING
