The galaxy cluster mass scale and its impact on cosmological constraints from the cluster population

GW Pratt, M Arnaud, A Biviano, D Eckert, S Ettori… - Space Science …, 2019 - Springer
The total mass of a galaxy cluster is one of its most fundamental properties. Together with
the redshift, the mass links observation and theory, allowing us to use the cluster population …
