The entropy and energy of intergalactic gas in galaxy clusters
Studies of the X-ray surface brightness profiles of clusters, coupled with theoretical considerations, suggest that the breaking of self-similarity in the hot gas results from an ‘entropy floor’, established by some heating process, which affects the structure of the intracluster gas strongly in lower mass systems. By fitting analytical models for the radial variation in gas density and tempera...
متن کاملGalaxy orbits and the intracluster gas temperature in clusters
In this paper we examine how well galaxies and intra-cluster gas trace the gravitational potential of clusters. Utilizing mass profiles derived from gravitational lensing and X-ray observations, coupled with measured galaxy velocities, we solve for the velocity anisotropy parameter βorb(r) using the anisotropic Jeans equation. This is done for five clusters, three at low redshift: A2199, A496 a...
متن کاملX-ray observations of the galaxy cluster PKS 0745-191: To the virial radius, and beyond
We measure X-ray emission from the outskirts of the cluster of galaxies PKS 0745-191 with Suzaku, determining radial profiles of density, temperature, entropy, gas fraction, and mass. These measurements extend beyond the virial radius for the first time, providing new information about cluster assembly and the diffuse intracluster medium out to ∼ 1.5r200 (r200 ≃ 1.7 Mpc ≃ 15). The temperature i...

متن کاملStructure and scaling of the entropy in nearby galaxy clusters
Using XMM-Newton observations, we investigate the scaling and structural properties of the ICM entropy in a sample of 10 nearby (z < 0.2) relaxed galaxy clusters in the temperature range 2-9 keV. We derive the local entropy-temperature (S –T ) relation at R = 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5R200. The logarithmic slope of the relation is the same within the 1σ error at all scaled radii. However, the intrin...
