Observational Support for the Gurzadyan-kocharyan Relation in Clusters of Galaxies
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that observational data for four Abell clusters of galaxies support the Gurzadyan-Kocharyan relation between the Hausdorr dimension and the dynamical properties of a galaxy system. The Hausdorr dimension is calculated using the two-point correlation function, while the dynamical parameters are estimated using available data and reasonable assumptions on the mass function of galaxies. This result can have essential consequences in the understanding of the dy-namical mechanisms that determine the fractal distribution of galaxies.

The S-tree method is used to estimate the redshift of the core of Coma cluster-cz = 6953 km s −1 and dispersion σ = 949 km s −1. The existence of three subgroups of galaxies is revealed, one of them is associated with the cD galaxy NGC 4874, another-with NGC 4889. It is argued that these subgroups are 'galaxy associations', i.e. galactic dynamical entities moving through the main cluster. The n...
متن کاملScaling relations in dynamical evolution of star clusters
We have carried out a series of small scale collisional N-body calculations of single-mass star clusters to investigate the dependence of the lifetime of star clusters on their initial parameters. Our models move through an external galaxy potential with a logarithmic density profile and they are limited by a cut-off radius. In order to find scaling relations between the lifetime of star cluste...
متن کاملOn the Study of the Substructure of Galaxy Clusters: S-tree Technique in Non-point Approximation
The study of substructuring properties of clusters of galaxies is one of the basic problems on the way of understanding of the mechanisms of formation of the large scale structure of the Universe. It is determined by the fact that, the dynamical time scales of clusters of galaxies are comparable with their ages, and hence their hierarchical properties do contain essential primordial information...
متن کاملScale - Invariant Spectrum of Cosmic Background Radiation as a Feature of the Universe with Negative Curvature
As was shown before (Gurzadyan and Kocharyan, 1992, 1993ab) the statistical properties (exponential mixing) of motion of CMB photon beams in Friedmann Universe with negative curvature can have definite observable consequences including the decrease of the CMB anisotropy amplitude after the last scattering, distortion of images on CMB sky maps. Here we consider one more consequence concerning th...
متن کاملMass-Temperature Relation of Galaxy Clusters: A Theoretical Study
Combining conservation of energy throughout nearly-spherical collapse of galaxy clusters with the virial theorem, we derive the mass-temperature relation for X-ray clusters of galaxies T = CM. The normalization factor C and the scatter of the relation are determined from first principles with the additional assumption of initial Gaussian random field. We are also able to reproduce the recently ...
