Apparent and actual galaxy cluster temperatures
The redshift evolution of the galaxy cluster temperature function is a powerful probe of cosmology. However, its determination requires the measurement of redshifts for all clusters in a catalogue, which is likely to prove challenging for large catalogues expected from XMM-Newton, which may contain of the order of 2000 clusters with measurable temperatures, distributed around the sky. In this p...
متن کاملOn Galaxy-Cluster Sizes and Temperatures
We show that the distribution of the sizes and temperatures of clusters can be used to constrain cosmological models. The size-temperature (ST) distribution predicted in a flat Gaussian cluster-abundance-normalized Ω0 = 0.3 model agrees well with the fairly tight ST relation observed. A larger power-spectrum amplitude σ8 would give rise to a larger scatter about the ST relation as would a large...
متن کاملGravitationaìconvergence' and Galaxy Cluster Masses
Two colour photometry of the cluster A1689 reveals a `relative magniication-bias' between lensed blue and red background galaxies, arising from a dependence of the faint galaxy count-slope on colour. The colour distribution is skewed blueward of the far eld, allowing us to measure the cluster magniication and to understand the notorious blueness of large arcs. We show that the magniication info...
متن کاملApparent precision of GPS radio occultation temperatures
[1] The abundant atmospheric data provided by radio occultation (RO) via the Global Positioning System satellite network have improved short and long-term forecasts and have demonstrated the potential to provide a long-term, consistent, and independent climate dataset. Previous studies have already verified the consistency and reliability of the RO method, listing a range of precision estimates...
متن کاملRedshift Evolution of Galaxy Cluster
The number of rich galaxy clusters per unit volume is a strong function of , the cosmological density parameter, and 8 , the linear extrapolation to z = 0 of the density contrast in 8h ?1 Mpc spheres. The CNOC cluster redshift survey provides a sample of clusters whose average mass prooles are accurately known, which enables a secure association between cluster numbers and the ltered density pe...
