"abstract": "<p>These catalogs contain the publically available 3D-Matched-Filter (3D-MF) Galaxy Cluster candidates in the 4 fields of CFHTLenS.</p>\n\n<p>Each catalog contains 5 columns: right ascension (RA), declination (DEC), redshift (<em>z</em>), 3D-MF detection significance (sig), and richness (n200).</p>\n\n<p>As discussed in the references below, sig has been found to scale well with mass. While these catalogs contain all clusters detected at sig &gt; 3.5, we expect there to be significant false detections at the lower end of this. Depending on your application, you may find it useful to make a cut at perhaps sig &gt; 5 or 10. The position of the cluster (RA, DEC) is coincident with the peak in the 3D-MF likelihood map, and does NOT necessarily coincide with a member galaxy. Redshift\u00a0<em>z</em>\u00a0is the center of the 3D-MF redshift bin that maximizes a cluster detection, and has not been refined to more precise values than the binning employed by the 3D-MF algorithm. For more details, please consult the references given below.</p>\n\n<p>Details of the 3D-MF algorithm can be found in\u00a0Milkeraitis et al. 2010 (http://arxiv.org/abs/0912.0739).</p>\n\n<p>The specifics of the 3D-MF application to the CFHTLenS fields can be found in\u00a0Ford et al. 2014 (http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.2295) and\u00a0Ford et al. 2015 (http://arxiv.org/abs/1409.3571).</p>\n\n<p>If you have any questions about these catalogs, please contact\u00a0jesfordphd@gmail.com</p>",
