Furthermore, through ``self-calibration,'' parameters describing the mass-observable relation and cosmology could be simultaneously determined, although at a loss in accuracy by about an order of magnitude. Here we examine an alternative approach to self-calibration, in which a parameterized ab initio physical model is used to compute theoretical mass-observable relations from the cluster structure. As an example, we use a modified-entropy (``preheating'') model of the intracluster medium, with the history and magnitude of entropy injection as unknown input parameters. Using a Fisher matrix approach, we evaluate the expected simultaneous statistical errors on cosmological and cluster model parameters. We find that compared to a phenomenological parameterization of the mass-observable relation, our physical model yields significantly tighter constraints in both surveys and offers substantially improved synergy when the two surveys are combined. In a mock X-ray survey, we find statistical errors on the dark energy equation of state are a factor of 2 tighter than the phenomenological model, with Δw0 ~ 0.08 and its evolution, Δwa ≡ -Δdw/da ~ 0.23, with corresponding errors of Δw0 ~ 0.06 and Δwa ~ 0.17 from a mock Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) survey, both with Ncl ~ 2.2 × 104 clusters, while simultaneously constraining cluster model parameters to ≲10%. When the two surveys are combined, the constraints tighten to Δw0 ~ 0.03 and Δwa ~ 0.1, a 40% improvement over adding the individual experiment errors in quadrature and a factor of 2 improvement over the phenomenological model. This suggests that parameterized physical models of cluster structure would be useful when extracting cosmological constraints from SZ and X-ray cluster surveys.","lang":"eng"}],"oa":1,"quality_controlled":"1","day":"10","main_file_link":[{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1086/508646","open_access":"1"}],"date_updated":"2024-09-30T09:28:25Z","author":[{"last_name":"Younger","full_name":"Younger, Joshua D.","first_name":"Joshua D."},{"first_name":"Zoltán","full_name":"Haiman, Zoltán","id":"7c006e8c-cc0d-11ee-8322-cb904ef76f36","last_name":"Haiman"},{"full_name":"Bryan, Greg L.","first_name":"Greg L.","last_name":"Bryan"},{"first_name":"Sheng","full_name":"Wang, Sheng","last_name":"Wang"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0004-637X","1538-4357"]},"year":"2006","article_processing_charge":"No","date_published":"2006-12-10T00:00:00Z","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","volume":653,"_id":"17766","date_created":"2024-09-06T09:52:54Z","publisher":"American Astronomical Society","publication":"The Astrophysical Journal","issue":"1","page":"27-42","month":"12"}
