abstract
Studies of galaxy clusters have proved crucial in helping to establish the standard model of cosmology, with a universe dominated by dark matter and dark energy. A theoretical basis that describes clusters as massive, multi-component, quasi-equilibrium systems is growing in its capability to interpret multi-wavelength observations of expanding scope and sensitivity. We review current cosmological results, including contributions to fundamental physics, obtained from observations of galaxy clusters. These results are consistent with and complementary to those from other methods. We highlight several areas of opportunity for the next few years, and emphasize the need for accurate modeling of survey selection and sources of systematic error. Capitalizing on these opportunities will require a multi-wavelength approach and the application of rigorous statistical frameworks, utilizing the combined strengths of observers, simulators and theorists.

Projection-induced selection bias causes 20-50% overestimation of weak lensing masses for optically selected galaxy clusters, larger on scales >3 Mpc.
Fixing the covariance at an incorrect cosmology in cluster count analyses leaves Ω_c, σ_8, and w estimates unbiased but distorts their uncertainties, driven by S_8 amplitude effects; a single update at the recovered best-fit cosmology restores correct normalization for LSST-like surveys.
Citizen science discovery of a bow-and-arrow radio galaxy with ~560 kpc bow-shock-like structure in a multi-halo environment at z=0.159.
Full-GR simulations find that inhomogeneous curvature produces only sub-dominant systematic offsets in growth-rate measurements from magnitude fluctuations at z ≲ 0.2 relative to current statistical errors.
PSZ is a new meta-catalogue of 1500 confirmed Planck SZ clusters incorporating 281 new confirmations, 262 invalidations, updated redshifts for 552 clusters, and homogeneously derived masses corrected for selection effects.
MINOT modeling of Abell 3667 predicts hadronic gamma-ray flux roughly matching Fermi-LAT observations in the 1-300 GeV band but with a spectral index in tension with the data.
Cluster gas fractions and Pantheon+ supernovae support constant speed of light under CLASH and CCCP mass calibrations but indicate 2σ tension under Planck calibration.
The SKA will enable high-resolution, high-sensitivity observations of the thermal SZ effect in massive halos, capturing both pressure substructures and large-scale ICM emission.
A comprehensive review of modified gravity theories and their cosmological consequences, including a parameterized post-Friedmannian formalism for constraining deviations from General Relativity.
