The primary difficulty in measuring dynamical masses of galaxy clusters from galaxy data lies in the separation between true cluster members from interloping galaxies along the line of sight. We study the impact of membership contamination and incomp... Read More about Galaxy Cluster Mass Reconstruction Project – IV.
