Changes to the measured tSZ power spectrum when clusters are masked in the analysis. The top panels show the actual values while the bottom panels show the ratio for different LC schemes. Red circles correspond to the baseline unmasked case, while the blue hexagons (yellow squares) correspond to masking clusters detected with S/N ≥ 5 (S/N ≥ 10) from the SPT cluster catalog (K. Kornoelje et al. 2025). The tSZ power reduces by ×1.8 and ×1.5 at ℓ = 3000 for the two masking schemes.
