Shallow dark matter cusps in galaxy clusters
We study the evolution of the stellar and dark matter components in a galaxy cluster of 1015 M from z = 3 to the present epoch using the high-resolution collisionless simulations of Ruszkowski & Springel. At z = 3 the dominant progenitor haloes were populated with spherical model galaxies with and without accounting for adiabatic contraction. We apply a weighting scheme which allows us to chang...
متن کاملThe nongravitational interactions of dark matter in colliding galaxy clusters.
Collisions between galaxy clusters provide a test of the nongravitational forces acting on dark matter. Dark matter's lack of deceleration in the "bullet cluster" collision constrained its self-interaction cross section σ(DM)/m < 1.25 square centimeters per gram (cm(2)/g) [68% confidence limit (CL)] (σ(DM), self-interaction cross section; m, unit mass of dark matter) for long-ranged forces. Usi...
متن کاملClustering of galaxy clusters in cold dark matter universes
We use very large cosmological N-body simulations to obtain accurate predictions for the two-point correlations and power spectra of mass-limited samples of galaxy clusters. We consider two currently popular cold dark matter (CDM) cosmogonies, a critical density model (tCDM) and a flat low density model with a cosmological constant (LCDM). Our simulations each use 10 particles to follow the mas...
متن کاملMissing baryons in shells around galaxy clusters
Aims. The cluster baryon fraction is estimated from the CMB-scattering leptonic component of the intracluster medium (ICM); however, the observed cluster baryon fraction is less than the cosmic one. Understanding the origin of this discrepancy is necessary for correctly describing the structure of the ICM. Methods. We estimate the baryonic mass in the outskirts of galaxy clusters which is diffi...
متن کاملAre we missing baryons in Galaxy Clusters?
The recent constraints on the cosmological parameters put from the observations of the WMAP satellite limit the cosmic baryon fraction in a range that is larger than, and marginally consistent with, what is measured in galaxy clusters. This rises the question whether or not we are considering all the ingredients of cluster baryonic budget. Carefully weighing the baryons in X-ray emitting plasma...
