Group or Cluster Detection Algorithms ===================================== - This topic has become more and more important for the study of galaxy-halo connection. Based on clustering of galaxies ------------------------------- - `sfof - Friends-of-Friends Galaxy Cluster Detection Algorithm `__ - By `Samuel Farrens `__. SFoF is a friends-of-friends galaxy cluster detection algorithm that operates in either spectroscopic or photometric redshift space. The linking parameters, both transverse and along the line-of-sight, change as a function of redshift to account for selection effects. Using the velocity (redshift information) ----------------------------------------- - [**FOG** - identifies locations of clusters by looking for the Finger-of-God effect] - Also in Abdullah et al. 2018 (AWK18) introduced a new technique (GalWeight) to assign cluster membership. - A catalog of 1870 clusters at 0.01 < z < 0.2 from SDSS DR13 (**GalWCat19**) can be found `here `__ Based on red-sequence of the cluster members -------------------------------------------- redMaPPer: red-sequence Matched-filter Probabilistic Percolation ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - `redMaPPer - The Red-sequence Cluster Finder `__ - By `Eli Rykoff `__. This is the open-source, python version of the red-sequence matched-filter Probabilistic Percolation (redMaPPer) cluster finder, originally described in Rykoff et al. (2014), with updates described in Rozo et al. (2015) and Rykoff et al. (2016). - One of the most commonly used algorithm in recent years.
