Abstract

The coming era of large, multi-wavelength surveys motivates and, ultimately, will inform a multivariate statistical framework describing cluster properties in relation to underlying halo mass and redshift. In this talk, I will present work at Michigan that focuses on a multivariate Gaussian likelihood approach to this problem, and includes empirical studies using optical and X-ray observations of the SDSS maxbcg sample as well as a computational program using Gadget resimulations of the Millennium Simulation with preheated gas dynamics. I will show evidence from the models that a combination of fgas measurements from X-rays along with Ytot from thermal SZ can constrain mass at the rms level of 4%.
