A Systematic Search of Distant Superclusters with the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey by Tsung-Chi Chen, Yen-Ting Lin, Hsi-Yu Schive, Masamune Oguri, Kai-Feng Chen, Nobuhiro Okabe, Sadman Ali, Connor Bottrell, Roohi Dalal, Yusei Koyama, Rogério Monteiro-Oliveira, Rhythm Shimakawa, Tomotsugu Goto, Bau-Ching Hsieh, Tadayuki Kodama, Atsushi J. Nishizawa

“…We found that clusters associated with superclusters are typically richer, but no apparent dependence of the BCG properties on large-scale structures is found. We also compared the abundance of observed superclusters with mock superclusters extracted from halo light cones, finding that photometric redshift uncertainty is a limiting factor in the performance of superclusters detection.…”
