2MASS, WISE, and SuperCOSMOS clusters of galaxies

DOI

We identify 47600 clusters of galaxies from photometric data of Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), and SuperCOSMOS, among which 26125 clusters are recognized for the first time and mostly in the sky outside the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) area. About 90 per cent of massive clusters of M_500_>3x10^14^M_{sun} in the redshift range of 0.025<z<0.3 have been detected from such survey data, and the detection rate drops down to 50 per cent for clusters with a mass of M_500~1x10^14^M_{sun}_. Monte Carlo simulations show that the false detection rate for the whole cluster sample is less than 5 per cent. By cross-matching with ROSAT and XMM-Newton sources, we get 779 new X-ray cluster candidates which have X-ray counterparts within a projected offset of 0.2Mpc.
