| Abstract: | Recent progress in cluster cosmology analyses have focused on forward modeling combinations of cluster observables to self-calibrate inherent systematic effects. We develop a new analysis pipeline towards this end, combining cluster abundances, cluster lensing, and cluster clustering, with a novel empirical model for a salient systematic effect known as projection effects. We validate our model with a blind cosmology challenge on simulations, and move to apply it on the SDSS redMaPPer cluster catalog in a blinded analysis. Our SDSS RM results show an interesting agreement with the DES Y1 cluster results, and we discuss possible implications and future prospects for cosmology with optical clusters. |
