Eduardo Rozo (KICP), Cluster Cosmology from Optical Surveys

Schedule Mar 17, 2011 Cluster Cosmology from Optical Surveys Eduardo Rozo (KICP)

I will present the cosmological constraints from SDSS cluster abundances, focusing in particular on the principal sources of error, and how these can be ameliorated. I will then discuss how these insights are helping inform cosmological efforts within the Dark Energy Survey (DES), as well as introduce the general testing framework being implemented to ensure the robustness of the DES cosmological constraints.
