COSMOS X-ray Group Catalog - Gozaliasl (2019) Catalog Definitions

Overview

This is the revised catalogue of 247 X-ray groups of galaxies in the 2 square degree COSMOS field with M200c = 8x10^12 - 3x10^14 M_sun at redshift range of 0.08 ≤ z < 1.53. The main revisions are on the group X-ray centre using the combined data of the XMM-Newton and Chandra and the redshift based on the COSMOS2015 photometric redshifts catalogue (Laigle et al. 2016) and the COSMOS spectroscopic redshifts catalogue (Hasinger et al. 2018).

If you use this catalog, please cite Gozaliasl et al. (2019).
