Galaxy cluster mass reconstruction project - II: quantifying scatter and bias using contrasting mock catalogues

This paper is the second in a series in which we perform an extensive comparison of various galaxy-based cluster mass estimation techniques that utilize the positions, velocities and colours of galaxies. Our aim is to quantify the scatter, systematic bias and completeness of cluster masses derived f...
