WaZP Cluster Finder

Primary LanguagePython

WaZP version 1.0

WaZP short description

This is a code intended to identify and qualify galaxy clusters in large multi-band galaxy photometric surveys.

WaZP workflow

  1. tiling of the sky - including overlaps
  2. generate redshift slices
  3. computation of global survey quantities
  4. for each tile
    • loop over redshift slices for detection
    • merge detections over slices
    • refine redshift of detections
  5. concatenate detections over all tiles
  6. for each tile
    • loop over clusters:estimate richness and membership
  7. concatenate richnesses and membership
  8. merge detections and richnesses
