- ... scales
- We make no assumption about the Gaussianity of the fields; the estimator remains unbiased even if
they are not Gaussian, although optimality must be redefined in this case.

- ... repeated
- Note that we have made some changes in the two last
steps compared to the description given in Melin et al. (2005). We no longer
sort candidates in a tree structure for de-blending; instead, we identify
and then remove candidates one by one from the filtered maps.
This has only a small impact on the completeness of the detection
algorithm, leaving the conclusions of our previous paper intact. The changes,
however, greatly improve photometry and lower contamination.

- ... effects
- The 3-year WMAP results, published after the work presented here
was finished, favor a significantly lower value
of
(Spergel et al. 2006). This could lower the total number of clusters in our simulations by up to a
factor of
2. As we are interested here in catalog recovery, where we compare output to input
catalogs, this change should only cause relatively minor changes to our final results.

- As discussed in BM, any dispersion has only a small effect
on survey sensitivity.
