Galaxy clusters are the most massive dark matter halos in the Universe. They host galaxies, gas, dust and dark matter.
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST; https://www.lsst.org/about) will detect hundreds of thousands of clusters, which can be used to constraint cosmology and study galaxy evolution. For cluster cosmology the cluster selection function should known with great precision.
To prepare for LSST, which will start in 2025, we need to build large sets of cluster simulations. This internship will focus on simulate galaxy clusters and study their selection function with particular attention to its impact to cosmology. We will work within the Rubin Galaxies science collaboration (https://sites.google.com/view/lsstgsc/home).
