Catalog extraction in SZ cluster surveys: a matched filter approach
Catalog extraction in SZ cluster surveys: a matched filter approach
We present a method based on matched multifrequency filters for extracting cluster catalogs from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) surveys. We evaluate its performance in terms of completeness, contamination rate and photometric recovery for three representative types of SZ survey: a high resolution single frequency radio survey (AMI), a high resolution ground-based multiband …
