Methods: The cluster detection is based on an implementation of the optimal filtering technique that enables us to identify clusters as over-densities in the distribution of galaxies using their positions on the sky, magnitudes, and photometric redshifts. The contamination and completeness of the cluster catalog are derived using mock catalogs based on the data themselves. The optimal signal to noise threshold for the cluster detection is obtained by randomizing the galaxy positions and selecting the value that produces a contamination of less than 20%. Starting from a subset of clusters detected with high significance at low redshifts, we shift them to higher redshifts to estimate the completeness as a function of redshift: the average completeness is 85%. An estimate of the mass of the clusters is derived using the richness as a proxy. <BR /> Results: We obtained 1858 candidate clusters with redshift 0 <z<SUB>c</SUB>< 0.7 and mass 10<SUP>13.5</SUP> < M<SUB>500</SUB> < 10<SUP>15</SUP> M<SUB>☉</SUB> in an area of 114 sq. degrees (KiDS ESO-DR2). A comparison with publicly available Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-based cluster catalogs shows that we match more than 50% of the clusters (77% in the case of the redMaPPer catalog). We also cross-matched our cluster catalog with the Abell clusters, and clusters found by XMM and in the Planck-SZ survey; however, only a small number of them lie inside the KiDS area currently available. <P />The catalog is available at <A href="http://kids.strw.leidenuniv.nl/DR2">http://kids.strw.leidenuniv.nl/DR2</A> and at the CDS via anonymous ftp to <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr</A> (<A href="http://130.79.128.5">http://130.79.128.5</A>) or via <A href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/598/A107">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/qcat?J/A+A/598/A107 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28770 | URL: | https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full_html/2017/02/aa29353-16/aa29353-16.html | ISSN: | 0004-6361 | DOI: | 10.1051/0004-6361/201629353 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017A&A...598A.107R | Fulltext: | open |
