ComPACT: Mass-Redshift Properties of the galaxy cluster catalogue

Machine-learning methods are increasingly applied to astronomical surveys, providing powerful tools for detecting and studying galaxy clusters. We investigate the mass-redshift properties and completeness of the ComPACT galaxy cluster catalogue, constructed using a convolutional neural network applied to publicly available combined ACT+Planck maps. The ComPACT catalogue contains 2,962 SZ-selected galaxy cluster candidates. We confirm clusters by estimating redshifts using literature information and photometric techniques based on DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys data. Cluster masses are derived from ACT+Planck and Planck Compton-y maps via SZ scaling relations. The completeness is assessed using simulated cluster injections into real microwave maps. We confirm approximately $\sim$60 % of the ComPACT candidates as galaxy clusters. The redshifts span the range $0.007 < z < 1.7$, including approximately 116 new measurements. Masses are obtained for 56 % of the sample, covering the range $(0.25 - 13.1) \times 10^{14} ~M_\odot$ and including 158 new mass determinations. We identify five previously unreported massive clusters ($M_{500c} > 6 \times 10^{14}~M_\odot$) at $z > 0.7$, increasing the known population of such systems by approximately 10 %. The ComPACT catalogue expands the SZ-selected Planck-like cluster population, especially at high redshift and high mass, demonstrating the effectiveness of deep-learning approaches for cluster detection in microwave data.

ComPACT: ACT+Planck galaxy cluster catalogue

Galaxy clusters are the most massive gravitationally bound systems consisting of dark matter, hot baryonic gas and stars. They play an important role in observational cosmology and galaxy evolution studies. We develop a deep learning model for segmentation of Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) signal on ACT+Planck intensity maps and construct a pipeline for microwave cluster detection in the ACT footprint. The proposed model allows us to identify previously unknown galaxy clusters, i.e. it is capable of detecting SZ sources below the detection threshold adopted in the published galaxy clusters catalogues (such as ACT DR5 and PSZ2). In this paper, we use the derived SZ signal map to considerably improve a cluster purity in the extended catalogue of Sunyaev-Zeldovich objects from Planck data (SZcat) in the ACT footprint. From SZcat, we create a new microwave galaxy cluster catalogue (ComPACT), which includes 2,962 SZ objects with cluster purity conservatively estimated as $\gtrsim74-84$\%. We categorise objects in the catalogue into 3 categories, based on their cluster reliability. Within the ComPACT catalogue, there are $\gtrsim{}977$ new clusters with respect to the ACT DR5 and PSZ2 catalogues.
