Scaling Relations

For all intents and purposes, the Von der Linden (2014) scaling relation that we have to compare ourselves to. The sample has 38 clusters in common with the Planck sample, 22 (solid) are in the cosmology sample, and 16(open) are not. As you can see, they measure a significant deviation from the Planck cosmology.

In the right, we have a plot of the RELICS clusters and we compare the WL masses to the SZE masses. As you can see, we have a lot of overlap in the same mass range as the WtG groups, therefore, we need to make a case that either our sample is better, or, that we will achieve the precision needed for cosmological applications.
