CoMaLit III. Literature Catalogs of weak Lensing Clusters of galaxies (LC2)
Abstract
The measurement of the mass of clusters of galaxies is crucial for their use in cosmology and astrophysics. Masses can be efficiently determined with weak lensing (WL) analyses. I compiled Literature Catalogs of weak Lensing Clusters (LC2). Cluster identifiers, coordinates, and redshifts have been standardised. WL masses were reported to over-densities of 2500, 500, 200, and to the virial one in the reference model. Duplicate entries were carefully handled. I produced three catalogs: LC2-single, with 485 unique groups and clusters analysed with the single-halo model; LC2-substructure, listing substructures in complex systems; LC2-all, listing all the 822 WL masses found in literature. The catalogs and future updates are publicly available at http://pico.bo.astro.it/~sereno/CoMaLit/LC2/.
