In light of the tension in cosmological constraints reported by the Planck team between their SZ-selected cluster counts and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature anisotropies, we compare the Planck cluster mass estimates with robust, weak-lensing mass measurements from the Weighing the Giants (WtG) project. For the 22 clusters in common between the Planck cosmology sample and WtG, we find an overall mass ratio of $left< M_{Planck}/M_{rm WtG} right> = 0.688 pm 0.072$. Extending the sample to clusters not used in the Planck cosmology analysis yields a consistent value of $left< M_{Planck}/M_{rm WtG} right> = 0.698 pm 0.062$ from 38 clusters in common. Identifying the weak-lensing masses as proxies for the true cluster mass (on average), these ratios are $sim 1.6sigma$ lower than the default mass bias of 0.8 assumed in the Planck cluster analysis. Adopting the WtG weak-lensing-based mass calibration would substantially reduce the tension found between the Planck cluster count cosmology results and those from CMB temperature anisotropies, thereby dispensing of the need for new physics such as uncomfortably large neutrino masses (in the context of the measured Planck temperature anisotropies and other data). We also find modest evidence (at 95 per cent confidence) for a mass dependence of the calibration ratio and discuss its potential origin in light of systematic uncertainties in the temperature calibration of the X-ray measurements used to calibrate the Planck cluster masses. Our results exemplify the critical role that robust absolute mass calibration plays in cluster cosmology, and the invaluable role of accurate weak-lensing mass measurements in this regard.

We present the mass calibration for galaxy clusters detected with the AMICO code in KiDS DR3 data. The cluster sample comprises $sim$ 7000 objects and covers the redshift range 0.1 < $z$ < 0.6. We perform a weak lensing stacked analysis by binning th
e clusters according to redshift and two different mass proxies provided by AMICO, namely the amplitude $A$ (measure of galaxy abundance through an optimal filter) and the richness $lambda^*$ (sum of membership probabilities in a consistent radial and magnitude range across redshift). For each bin, we model the data as a truncated NFW profile plus a 2-halo term, taking into account uncertainties related to concentration and miscentring. From the retrieved estimates of the mean halo masses, we construct the $A$-$M_{200}$ and the $lambda^*$-$M_{200}$ relations. The relations extend over more than one order of magnitude in mass, down to $M_{200} sim 2 (5) times 10^{13} M_odot/h$ at $z$ = 0.2 (0.5), with small evolution in redshift. The logarithmic slope is $sim 2.0$ for the $A$-mass relation, and $sim 1.7$ for the $lambda^*$-mass relation, consistent with previous estimations on mock catalogues and coherent with the different nature of the two observables.
The use of galaxy clusters as precision cosmological probes relies on an accurate determination of their masses. However, inferring the relationship between cluster mass and observables from direct observations is difficult and prone to sample select
ion biases. In this work, we use weak lensing as the best possible proxy for cluster mass to calibrate the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect measurements from the APEX-SZ experiment. For a well-defined (ROSAT) X-ray complete cluster sample, we calibrate the integrated Comptonization parameter, $Y_{rm SZ}$, to the weak-lensing derived total cluster mass, $M_{500}$. We employ a novel Bayesian approach to account for the selection effects by jointly fitting both the SZ Comptonization, $Y_{rm SZ}text{--}M_{500}$, and the X-ray luminosity, $L_{rm x}text{--}M_{500}$, scaling relations. We also account for a possible correlation between the intrinsic (log-normal) scatter of $L_{rm x}$ and $Y_{rm SZ}$ at fixed mass. We find the corresponding correlation coefficient to be $r= 0.47_{-0.35}^{+0.24}$, and at the current precision level our constraints on the scaling relations are consistent with previous works. For our APEX-SZ sample, we find that ignoring the covariance between the SZ and X-ray observables biases the normalization of the $Y_{rm SZ}text{--}M_{500}$ scaling high by $1text{--}2sigma$ and the slope low by $sim 1sigma$, even when the SZ effect plays no role in the sample selection. We conclude that for higher-precision data and larger cluster samples, as anticipated from on-going and near-future cluster cosmology experiments, similar biases (due to intrinsic covariances of cluster observables) in the scaling relations will dominate the cosmological error budget if not accounted for correctly.
We constrain the mass--richness scaling relation of redMaPPer galaxy clusters identified in the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 data using weak gravitational lensing. We split clusters into $4times3$ bins of richness $lambda$ and redshift $z$ for $lambdage
q20$ and $0.2 leq z leq 0.65$ and measure the mean masses of these bins using their stacked weak lensing signal. By modeling the scaling relation as $langle M_{rm 200m}|lambda,zrangle = M_0 (lambda/40)^F ((1+z)/1.35)^G$, we constrain the normalization of the scaling relation at the 5.0 per cent level as $M_0 = [3.081 pm 0.075 ({rm stat}) pm 0.133 ({rm sys})] cdot 10^{14} {rm M}_odot$ at $lambda=40$ and $z=0.35$. The richness scaling index is constrained to be $F=1.356 pm 0.051 ({rm stat})pm 0.008 ({rm sys})$ and the redshift scaling index $G=-0.30pm 0.30 ({rm stat})pm 0.06 ({rm sys})$. These are the tightest measurements of the normalization and richness scaling index made to date. We use a semi-analytic covariance matrix to characterize the statistical errors in the recovered weak lensing profiles. Our analysis accounts for the following sources of systematic error: shear and photometric redshift errors, cluster miscentering, cluster member dilution of the source sample, systematic uncertainties in the modeling of the halo--mass correlation function, halo triaxiality, and projection effects. We discuss prospects for reducing this systematic error budget, which dominates the uncertainty on $M_0$. Our result is in excellent agreement with, but has significantly smaller uncertainties than, previous measurements in the literature, and augurs well for the power of the DES cluster survey as a tool for precision cosmology and upcoming galaxy surveys such as LSST, Euclid and WFIRST.
We use weak-lensing shear measurements to determine the mean mass of optically selected galaxy clusters in Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data. In a blinded analysis, we split the sample of more than 8,000 redMaPPer clusters into 15 subsets,
spanning ranges in the richness parameter $5 leq lambda leq 180$ and redshift $0.2 leq z leq 0.8$, and fit the averaged mass density contrast profiles with a model that accounts for seven distinct sources of systematic uncertainty: shear measurement and photometric redshift errors; cluster-member contamination; miscentering; deviations from the NFW halo profile; halo triaxiality; and line-of-sight projections. We combine the inferred cluster masses to estimate the joint scaling relation between mass, richness and redshift, $mathcal{M}(lambda,z) varpropto M_0 lambda^{F} (1+z)^{G}$. We find $M_0 equiv langle M_{200mathrm{m}},|,lambda=30,z=0.5rangle=left[ 2.35 pm 0.22 rm{(stat)} pm 0.12 rm{(sys)} right] cdot 10^{14} M_odot$, with $F = 1.12,pm,0.20 rm{(stat)}, pm, 0.06 rm{(sys)}$ and $G = 0.18,pm, 0.75 rm{(stat)}, pm, 0.24 rm{(sys)}$. The amplitude of the mass-richness relation is in excellent agreement with the weak-lensing calibration of redMaPPer clusters in SDSS by Simet et al. (2016) and with the Saro et al. (2015) calibration based on abundance matching of SPT-detected clusters. Our results extend the redshift range over which the mass-richness relation of redMaPPer clusters has been calibrated with weak lensing from $zleq 0.3$ to $zleq0.8$. Calibration uncertainties of shear measurements and photometric redshift estimates dominate our systematic error budget and require substantial improvements for forthcoming studies.
Using $sim$140 deg$^2$ Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey data, we stack the weak lensing (WL) signal around five Planck clusters found within the footprint. This yields a 15$sigma$ detection of the mean Planck cluster mass density profile. The fi
ve Planck clusters span a relatively wide mass range, $M_{rm WL,500c} = (2-30)times10^{14},M_odot/h$ with a mean mass of $M_{rm WL,500c} = (4.15pm0.61)times10^{14},M_odot/h$. The ratio of the stacked Planck Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) mass to the stacked WL mass is $ langle M_{rm SZ}rangle/langle M_{rm WL}rangle = 1-b = 0.80pm0.14$. This mass bias is consistent with previous WL mass calibrations of Planck clusters within the errors. We discuss the implications of our findings for the calibration of SZ cluster counts and the much discussed tension between Planck SZ cluster counts and Planck $Lambda$CDM cosmology.
