We present a statistical weak-lensing magnification analysis on an optically selected sample of 3029 texttt{CAMIRA} galaxy clusters with richness $N>15$ at redshift $0.2leq z <1.1$ in the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. We use two distinct populations of color-selected, flux-limited background galaxies, namely the low-$z$ and high-$z$ samples at mean redshifts of $approx1.1$ and $approx1.4$, respectively, from which to measure the weak-lensing magnification signal by accounting for cluster contamination as well as masking effects. Our magnification bias measurements are found to be uncontaminated according to validation tests against the null-test samples for which the net magnification bias is expected to vanish. The magnification bias for the full texttt{CAMIRA} sample is detected at a significance level of $9.51sigma$, which is dominated by the high-$z$ background. We forward-model the observed magnification data to constrain the normalization of the richness-to-mass ($N$--$M$) relation for the texttt{CAMIRA} sample with informative priors on other parameters. The resulting scaling relation is $Npropto {M_{500}}^{0.92pm0.13} (1 + z)^{-0.48pm0.69}$, with a characteristic richness of $N=left(17.72pm2.60right)$ and intrinsic log-normal scatter of $0.15pm0.07$ at $M_{500} = 10^{14}h^{-1}M_{odot}$. With the derived $N$--$M$ relation, we provide magnification-calibrated mass estimates of individual texttt{CAMIRA} clusters, with the typical uncertainty of $approx39%$ and $approx32%$ at richness$approx20$ and $approx40$, respectively. We further compare our magnification-inferred $N$--$M$ relation with those from the shear-based results in the literature, finding good agreement.

We perform a self-calibration of the richness-to-mass ($N$-$M$) relation of CAMIRA galaxy clusters with richness $Ngeq15$ at redshift $0.2leq z<1.1$ by modeling redshift-space two-point correlation functions. These correlation functions are $xi_{mathrm{cc}}$ of CAMIRA clusters, the auto-correlation function $xi_{mathrm{gg}}$ of the CMASS galaxies spectroscopically observed in the BOSS survey, and the cross-correlation function $xi_{mathrm{cg}}$ between these two samples. We focus on constraining the normalization $A_{mathrm{N}}$ of the $N$-$M$ relation in a forward-modeling approach, carefully accounting for the redshift-space distortion, the Finger-of-God effect, and the uncertainty in photometric redshifts of CAMIRA clusters. The modeling also takes into account the projection effect on the halo bias of CAMIRA clusters. The parameter constraints are shown to be unbiased according to validation tests using a large set of mock catalogs constructed from N-body simulations. At the pivotal mass $M_{500}=10^{14}h^{-1}M_{odot}$ and the pivotal redshift $z_{mathrm{piv}} = 0.6$, the resulting normalization $A_{mathrm{N}}$ is constrained as $13.8^{+5.8}_{-4.2}$, $13.2^{+3.4}_{-2.7}$, and $11.9^{+3.0}_{-1.9}$ by modeling $xi_{mathrm{cc}}$, $xi_{mathrm{cc}}+xi_{mathrm{cg}}$, and $xi_{mathrm{cc}} + xi_{mathrm{cg}} + xi_{mathrm{gg}}$, with average uncertainties at levels of $36%$, $23%$, and $21%$, respectively. We find that the resulting $A_{mathrm{N}}$ is statistically consistent with those independently obtained from weak-lensing magnification and from a joint analysis of shear and cluster abundance, with a preference for a lower value at a level of $lesssim1.9sigma$. This implies that the absolute mass scale of CAMIRA clusters inferred from clustering is mildly higher than those from the independent methods. [abridged]
We present the first results of a pilot X-ray study of 37 rich galaxy clusters at $0.1<z<1.1$ in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC-SSP) field. Diffuse X-ray emissions from these clusters were serendipitously detected in the XMM-Newton fields of view. We systematically analyze X-ray images of 37 clusters and emission spectra of a subsample of 17 clusters with high photon statistics by using the XMM-Newton archive data. The frequency distribution of the offset between the X-ray centroid or peak and the position of the brightest cluster galaxy was derived for the optical cluster sample. The fraction of relaxed clusters estimated from the X-ray peak offsets in 17 clusters is $29pm11(pm13)$%, which is smaller than that of the X-ray cluster samples such as HIFLUGCS. Since the optical cluster search is immune to the physical state of X-ray-emitting gas, it is likely to cover a larger range of the cluster morphology. We also derived the luminosity-temperature relation and found that the slope is marginally shallower than those of X-ray-selected samples and consistent with the self-similar model prediction of 2. Accordingly, our results show that the X-ray properties of the optical clusters are marginally different from those observed in the X-ray samples. The implication of the results and future prospects are briefly discussed.
We present weak-lensing measurements using the first-year data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Strategic Survey Program on the Subaru telescope for eight galaxy clusters selected through their thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal measured at 148 GHz with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Polarimeter experiment. The overlap between the two surveys in this work is 33.8 square degrees, before masking bright stars. The signal-to-noise ratio of individual cluster lensing measurements ranges from 2.2 to 8.7, with a total of 11.1 for the stacked cluster weak-lensing signal. We fit for an average weak-lensing mass distribution using three different profiles, a Navarro-Frenk-White profile, a dark-matter-only emulated profile, and a full cosmological hydrodynamic emulated profile. We interpret the differences among the masses inferred by these models as a systematic error of 10%, which is currently smaller than the statistical error. We obtain the ratio of the SZ-estimated mass to the lensing-estimated mass (the so-called hydrostatic mass bias $1-b$) of $0.74^{+0.13}_{-0.12}$, which is comparable to previous SZ-selected clusters from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and from the {sl Planck} Satellite. We conclude with a discussion of the implications for cosmological parameters inferred from cluster abundances compared to cosmic microwave background primary anisotropy measurements.
We use the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program S19A shape catalog to construct weak lensing shear-selected cluster samples. From aperture mass maps covering $sim 510$~deg$^2$ created using a truncated Gaussian filter, we construct a catalog of 187 shear-selected clusters that correspond to mass map peaks with the signal-to-noise ratio larger than 4.7. Most of the shear-selected clusters have counterparts in optically-selected clusters, from which we estimate the purity of the catalog to be higher than 95%. The sample can be expanded to 418 shear-selected clusters with the same signal-to-noise ratio cut by optimizing the shape of the filter function and by combining weak lensing mass maps created with several different background galaxy selections. We argue that dilution and obscuration effects of cluster member galaxies can be mitigated by using background source galaxy samples and adopting the filter function with its inner boundary larger than about $2$. The large samples of shear-selected clusters that are selected without relying on any baryonic tracer are useful for detailed studies of cluster astrophysics and cosmology.
Cross-correlations between galaxy weak lensing (WL) and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) lensing are a powerful tool to probe matter fluctuations at intermediate redshifts and to detect residual systematics in either probe. In this paper, we study the cross-correlation of galaxy WL from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HSC) first data release and CMB lensing from the final Planck data release, for HSC source galaxies at 0.3< z < 1.5. HSC is the deepest Stage-III galaxy WL survey, and provides both a great opportunity to study the high-redshift universe and new challenges related to its exceptionally high source density, such as source blending. The cross-correlation signal is measured at a significance level of 3.1$sigma$. The amplitude of our best-fit model with respect to the best-fit 2018 Planck cosmology is $A = 0.81pm 0.25$, consistent with $A=1$. Our result is also consistent with previous CMB lensing and galaxy WL cross-correlation studies using different surveys. We perform tests with respect to the WL $B$-modes, the point-spread-function, photometric redshift errors, and thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich leakage, and find no significant evidence of residual systematics.
