Potsdam Meeting CWG Splinter Session Agenda
9:00 - 10:30 Tuesday: How do we create the cluster catalog?
- Goals and status of the CFC (cluster finding challenge)
- MCMF overview with focus on lessons learned from RASS+DES
- Status of the DECam surveys and the PS region of the eROSITA-DE sky
- Discussion and plans going forward
11:00 - 12:30 Tuesday: What is a cluster selection function?
- Review of the selection function modeling in SPT-SZ and MARD-Y3, implications for eROSITA
- Modeling of the selection function using sky simulations within a fixed cosmology
- Scaling relations, scatter and sky simulations- what are the connections and complementarity?
- Discussions and plans going forward
14:30 - 16:00 Tuesday: How do we cross-compare and then combine mass calibration information?
- Review of the available sources of dynamical and weak lensing mass calibration information
- Strategy for the incorporation of mass calibration information within the eROSITA-DE cluster analyses
- New ideas and new directions- importance of strong lensing, relevance of CMB lensing, etc
- Discussion and plans going forward
16:30 - 18:00 Tuesday: What is our plan for the cluster cosmology analysis?
- Cluster cosmology context and competition, the eROSITA-DE perspective
- Empirical mass calibration and cosmological studies using the Grandis+ code
- Cosmological studies using other codes (add short title/description)
- Discussion and plans going forward
9:00 - 10:30 Wednesday: HSC+eROSITA planning with eFEDS and eRASS1
- Review of the four eFEDS key projects
- Plans for the eRASS1 coverage of the HSC survey
- Presentation of the proposed leads for the key projects
- Discussion and plans going forward
11:00 - 12:30 Wednesday: What are our plans for non-cosmology cluster science?
- Review of PV phase observations and science goals
- Presentation of additional science ideas together with comment on timescale and resources
- Discussion and plan going forward
14:30 - 16:00 Wednesday
No CWG splinter. Attend AGN or Calibration WG splinters.
16:30 - 18:00 Wednesday
Joint discussion of multi-lambda followup plans with AGN WG.
