Distant cluster hunting. II. A comparison of X-ray and optical cluster detection techniques and catalogs from the ROSAT optical X-ray survey. (2002)

Keywords : catalogs - dark matter - galaxies clusters: general - X-rays: galaxies: clusters

Abstract:We present and analyze the optical and X-ray catalogs of moderate-redshift cluster candidates from the ROSAT Optical X-Ray Survey, or ROXS. The survey covers the sky area contained in the fields of view of 23 deep archival ROSAT PSPC pointings, 4.8 square degrees. The cross-correlated cluster catalogs were constructed by comparing two independent catalogs extracted from the optical and X-ray bandpasses, using a matched-filter technique for the optical data and a wavelet technique for the X-ray data. We cross-identified cluster candidates in each catalog. ...(more)
