Abstract

Galaxy clusters are visible across the electromagnetic spectrum. Observations of their structure, abundance, and evolution provide constraints to cosmology. We are in a golden age of statistical power for galaxy clusters, where observations will provide multiwavelength data for tens of thousands of galaxy clusters. However, our ability to maximize the use of clusters as cosmology probes is limited by how well we measure cluster masses and quantify systematic effects in galaxy cluster detection and characterization. I will discuss modeling efforts that enable us to test for systematics that arise from both astrophysical and observational effects.
