We present the cosmological parameters constraints obtained from the
combination of galaxy cluster mass function measurements (Vikhlinin et al.,
2009a,b) with new cosmological data obtained during last three years: updated
measurements of cosmic microwave background anisotropy with Wilkinson Microwave
Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) observatory, and at smaller angular scales with South
Pole Telescope (SPT), new Hubble constant measurements, baryon acoustic
oscillations and supernovae Type Ia observations.
New constraints on total neutrino mass and effective number of neutrino
species are obtained. In models with free number of massive neutrinos the
constraints on these parameters are notably less strong, and all considered
cosmological data are consistent with non-zero total neutrino mass \Sigma m_\nu
\approx 0.4 eV and larger than standard effective number of neutrino species,
N_eff \approx 4. These constraints are compared to the results of neutrino
oscillations searches at short baselines.
The updated dark energy equation of state parameters constraints are
presented. We show that taking in account systematic uncertainties, current
cluster mass function data provide similarly powerful constraints on dark
energy equation of state, as compared to the constraints from supernovae Type
Ia observations.
