Cosmology: Large-Scale Structure

Scientific paper

We present the initial findings of a study into the assembly of galaxy clusters throughout cosmic time with the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS). Using cluster locations extracted from the X-ray temperature maps of the COSMOS-XMM survey paired with photometric redshifts, we examine the cluster-galaxy cross-correlation function in its projected form on scales beneath 10 Mpc/h for clusters in the mass range 1012 ≤ M/M&sun; ≤ 1014 and extending to a redshift z ~ 1.25. We find a strong positive trend in the amplitude of the cross-correlation function with increasing cluster mass and a weaker dependence on redshift, at least partially explicable by a systematic effect arising from the method of locating clusters.
