Abstract

We present a catalog of galaxy clusters selected using the maxBCG red-sequence method from Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric data. This catalog includes 13,823 clusters with velocity dispersions greater than ≈400 km s -1 and is the largest galaxy cluster catalog assembled to date. They are select...
