Description

Galaxy clusters are powerful probes of the large-scale structure of the universe and cosmology, with their population statistics being highly dependent on the expansion history of the universe and growth of structure. In the last few decades, galaxy cluster samples across wavelengths have exceeded thousands of objects, including those identified in the millimeter regime through the use of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect. This has opened the door to using the 2-point clustering statistic of galaxy clusters to place constraints on cosmology and the tSZ mass-observable scaling relationship in ways that are complementary to the existing 1-point cluster abundance statistic measurements.
In this talk, we will present the first measurement of clustering with tSZ-selected galaxy clusters using the 5-year, 1500 square degree galaxy cluster catalog from SPT-3G. We will also discuss the constraining ability of this sample with regards to astrophysical and cosmological parameters.
