17. The currently favored "concordance" cosmological model that best describes the universe is the LCDM paradigm in which the bulk of the matter and energy density are dominated by dark matter and dark energy, with baryons contributing only ∼5%.

37. Filaments aligned at finite inclinations behind the cluster (thus breaking azimuthal symmetry) do yield larger deviations between the projected and multiplane models compared with the symmetric case. For the nonsymmetric case, the deviations are typically on the same level as the errors due to scatter in the cluster galaxy properties. These deviations are still subdominant to the effects of uncorrelated line-of-sight halos.
