Mismatch between X-ray and Emission-weighted Temperatures in Galaxy Clusters: Cosmological Implications
The thermal properties of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters are usually compared to observations by relying on the emission-weighted temperature Tew, instead of on the spectroscopic X-ray temperature Tspec, which is obtained by actual observational data. In a recent paper Mazzotta et al. show that, if the cluster is thermally complex, Tew fails at reproducing Tspec, and propose a ne...
متن کاملComparing the temperatures of galaxy clusters from hydro-N-body simulations to Chandra and XMM-Newton observations
Theoretical studies of the physical processes guiding the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the X-ray are mainly based on the results of numerical hydrodynamical N-body simulations, which in turn are often directly compared to X-ray observations. Although trivial in principle, these comparisons are not always simple. We demonstrate that the projected spectroscopic tempe...
متن کاملCosmological Implications of X-ray Clusters of Galaxies
Cosmological implications of clusters of galaxies are discussed with particular attention to their importance in probing the cosmological parameters. More specifically we compute the number counts of clusters of galaxies, LogN–LogS relation, in X-ray and submm bands on the basis of the Press–Schechter theory. We pay particular attention to a set of theoretical models which well reproduce the RO...
متن کاملRadial Profile and Log-normal Fluctuations of Intra-cluster Medium as an Origin of Systematic Bias of Spectroscopic Temperature
The origin of the recently reported systematic bias in the spectroscopic temperature of galaxy clusters is investigated using cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. We find that the local inhomogeneities of the gas temperature and density, after corrected for the global radial profiles, have nearly a universal distribution that resembles the log-normal function. Based on this log-normal appro...
متن کاملClustering and Large-scale Structure with the Sdss
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide a complete imaging and spectroscopic survey of the high-latitude northern sky. The 2D survey will image the sky in five colors and will contain nearly 5 x 107 galaxies to g ~ 23m. The spectroscopic survey will obtain spectra of the brightest 106 galaxies, 105 quasars, and 103.5 rich clusters of galaxies (to g~18.3-19.3m, respectively). I summariz...
