Calibrating optical galaxy cluster projection effects with sparse spectroscopic samples: A clustering redshift approach

A clustering redshift approach was developed to correct optical galaxy cluster projection effects using sparse spectroscopic galaxy samples. By cross-correlating cluster members with these external samples, the method successfully recovered true redshift distributions and quantified projection parameters like the fraction of projected members, showing insensitivity to the reference sample chosen.
