Data Model: eFEDS_c001_main_ctp_clus_v2

General Description
This catalog provides optical confirmation, redshifts and dynamical state estimates described in Klein et al. 2021, for the extent selected sources in the eFEDS field (Brunner et al. 2021, Liu et al. 2021). A optically cleaned cluster catalg can be obtained by selecting F_CONT_BEST_COMB < 0.3 (0.2). Groups not confirmed by MCMF but via matches to external catalogs are added as negative values (see column description).
Naming Convention
This catalog is based on the eFEDS_c001_main X-ray catalog. It provides counter parts (ctp) to the extent selected sample that is dominated by galaxy clusters (clus). Version 2.1 is the catalog presented in Klein+2021. From v1 to v2, the missed groups were added plus some redshifts changed (~3% of the sources affected). Version 2.1 added only the optical disturbance estimators and the MCMF_NWAY column to the catalog, no change on other entries. Filename:

Column Description of the catalog. First 17 columns are based on the input X-ray catalog (see Brunner+21) used for the searched for optical counter parts. Note "RA_CORR", "DEC_CORR" are the X-ray coordinates used for counter part search. Starting with "F_CONT_BEST_COMB" all following entries are related to the optical follow-up and are described in Klein+21 as well. Note "MASSPROX_BEST_COMB" is only a mass proxy based on the the count rate (ML_RATE), a bias and a redshift trend to true halo mass can be safely assumed. Note this table does not contain the additional X-ray quantities derived in Liu+21.
