Aims. We analyze the autocorrelation function of a large contiguous sample of galaxy clusters, the Constrain Dark Energy with X-ray (CODEX) sample, in which we take particular care of cluster definition. These clusters were X-ray selected using the RASS survey and then identified as galaxy clusters using the code redMaPPer run on the photometry of the SDSS. We develop methods for precisely accounting for the sample selection effects on the clustering and demonstrate their robustness using numerical simulations. Methods. Using the clean CODEX sample, which was obtained by applying a redshift-dependent richness selection, we computed the two-point autocorrelation function of galaxy clusters in the $0.1<z<0.3$ and $0.3<z<0.5$ redshift bins. We compared the bias in the measured correlation function with values obtained in numerical simulations using a similar cluster mass range. Results. By fitting a power law, we measured a correlation length $r_0=18.7 pm 1.1$ and slope $gamma=1.98 pm 0.14$ for the correlation function in the full redshift range. By fixing the other cosmological parameters to their WMAP9 values, we reproduced the observed shape of the correlation function under the following cosmological conditions: $Omega_{m_0}=0.22^{+0.04}_{-0.03}$ and $S_8=sigma_8 (Omega_{m_0} /0.3)^{0.5}=0.85^{+0.10}_{-0.08}$ with estimated additional systematic errors of $sigma_{Omega_{m_0}} = 0.02$ and $sigma_{S_8} = 0.20$. We illustrate the complementarity of clustering constraints by combining them with CODEX cosmological constraints based on the X-ray luminosity function, deriving $Omega_{m_0} = 0.25 pm 0.01$ and $sigma_8 = 0.81^{+0.01}_{-0.02}$ with an estimated additional systematic error of $sigma_{Omega_{m_0}} = 0.07$ and $sigma_{sigma_8} = 0.04$. The mass calibration and statistical quality of the mass tracers are the dominant source of uncertainty.
Large area catalogs of galaxy clusters constructed from ROSAT All Sky Survey provide the base for our knowledge on the population of clusters thanks to the long-term multiwavelength efforts on their follow-up. Advent of large area photometric surveys
The COnstrain Dark Energy with X-ray clusters (CODEX) sample contains the largest flux limited sample of X-ray clusters at $0.35 < z < 0.65$. It was selected from ROSAT data in the 10,000 square degrees of overlap with BOSS, mapping a total number of
We use galaxy dynamical information to calibrate the richness-mass scaling relation of a sample of 428 galaxy clusters that are members of the CODEX sample with redshifts up to z~0.7. These clusters were X-ray selected using the ROSAT All-Sky Survey
Galaxy clusters trace the highest density peaks in the large-scale structure of the Universe. Their clustering provides a powerful probe that can be exploited in combination with cluster mass measurements to strengthen the cosmological constraints pr
CODEX and ESPRESSO are concepts for ultra-stable, high-resolution spectrographs at the E-ELT and VLT, respectively. Both instruments are well motivated by distinct sets of science drivers. However, ESPRESSO will also be a stepping stone towards CODEX
