BLOX: The Bonn Lensing, Optical, and X-ray selected galaxy clusters -- I. Cluster catalog construction

The mass function of galaxy clusters is an important cosmological probe. Differences in the selection method could potentially lead to biases when determining the mass function. From the optical and X-ray data of the XMM-Newton Follow-Up Survey, we obtained a sample of galaxy cluster candidates using weak gravitational lensing, the …
