Abstract:
Counting clusters is one of the methods to constrain cosmological
parameters, but has been limited up to now both by the redshift range
and by the relatively small sizes of the homogeneously surveyed areas.
In order to enlarge publicly available optical cluster catalogs, in
particular at high redshift, we have performed a systematic search for
clusters of galaxies in the Canada France Hawaii Telescope Legacy
Survey (CFHTLS).
We considered the deep 2, 3 and 4 CFHTLS Deep fields (each 1x1deg2),
as well as the wide 1, 3 and 4 CFHTLS Wide fields. We used the Le
Phare photometric redshifts for the galaxies detected in these fields
with magnitude limits of i'=25 and 23 for the Deep and Wide fields
respectively. We then constructed galaxy density maps in photometric
redshift bins of 0.1 based on an adaptive kernel technique and
detected structures with SExtractor at various detection levels.
In order to assess the validity of our cluster detection rates, we
applied a similar procedure to galaxies in Millennium simulations.
We measured the correlation function of our cluster candidates.
We analyzed large scale properties and substructures, including
filaments, by applying a minimal spanning tree algorithm both to
our data and to the Millennium simulations.
