Finding Clusters of Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using Voronoi Tessellation
ArXiv.org
15 Dec 1999
Abstract
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has obtained 450 square degrees of photometric
scan data, in five bands (u',g',r',i',z'), which we use to identify clusters of
galaxies. We illustrate how we do star-galaxy separation, and present a simple
and elegant method of detecting overdensities in the galaxy distribution, using
the Voronoi Tessellation.
