Galaxy Cluster Weighting Workshop

30 Jul 2008, 09:00 → 31 Jul 2008, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

New Seminar Room (MPE)

Hans Boehringer (MPE)

The workshop is focused on comparing the state of the art of determining the masses of clusters of galaxies with X-ray and lensing observations. Encouraged by recent results from a comparison for the two techniques in the LoCuSS project such a comparison is very timely given the recent advances in the field and the difficulty in really understanding the systematics of both techniques.
