| Abstract | Galaxy clusters are powerful probes of the large-scale structure of the universe and its evolution over time. New astronomical surveys, like the Dark Energy Survey (DES), contain high-quality images of thousands of clusters and surrounding vicinity. Despite this wealth of data, the study of clusters is limited by the difficulty in converting observed quantities, like the number of galaxies in a cluster or the gravitational lensing of light from background galaxies, into accurate estimates of the |
