Description
Following the recent report of a possible radio counterpart to the X-ray transient IGR J17098-3628 (ATEL #490), we re-investigated our Magellan I-band exposures obtained on 2005 April 9 UT (see ATEL #478). The frames show a point source located at R.A.(J2000)=17:09:45.93, DEC(J2000)= -36:27:58.2 in the 2MASS reference frame (0.2" uncertainty). This optical position is consistent within 2 sigma with that derived from the radio observations (ATEL #490).

    The abundance of galaxy clusters with mass and redshift is a wellknown cosmological probe. The cluster mass is a key parameter for studies that aim to constrain cosmological parameters using galaxy clusters, making it critical to understand and properly account for the errors in its estimates. Subsequently, it becomes important to correctly
