A matched filter approach for blind joint detection of galaxy clusters in X-ray and SZ surveys

The combination of X-ray and SZ observations can potentially improve the cluster detection efficiency when compared to using only one of these probes, since both probe the same medium: the hot ionized gas of the intra-cluster medium. We…
