VST ATLAS galaxy cluster catalogue I: cluster detection and mass calibration
ABSTRACT Taking advantage of ∼4700 deg2 optical coverage of the Southern sky offered by the VST ATLAS survey, we construct a new catalogue of photometrically selected galaxy groups and clusters using the orca cluster detection algorithm. The catalogue contains ∼22 000 detections with N200 > 10 an...

ABSTRACT Taking advantage of ∼4700 deg2 optical coverage of the Southern sky offered by the VST ATLAS survey, we construct a new catalogue of photometrically selected galaxy groups and clusters using the orca cluster detection algorithm. The catalogue contains ∼22 000 detections with N200 > 10 and ∼9000 with N200 > 20. We estimate the photometric redshifts of the clusters using machine learning and find the redshift distribution of the sample to extend to z ∼ 0.7, peaking at z ∼ 0.25. We calibrate the ATLAS cluster mass-richness scaling relation using masses from the MCXC, Planck, ACT DR5, and SDSS redMaPPer cluster samples. We estimate the ATLAS sample to be $\gt 95~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ complete and $\gt 85~{{\ \rm per\ cent}}$ pure at z < 0.35 and in the M200m>$1\times 10^{14}h^{-1}\, \mbox{M}_\odot$ mass range.
