On 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 کاملThe Hubble Constant From observations of the Brightest Red Giant Stars in a Virgo-cluster Galaxy
The nearest large groups of elliptical galaxies, in the Virgo and Fornax clusters, play central roles in determining the Hubble constant H 0 and thus the cosmological rate of expansion. Since the relative distances between these two clusters and more remote clusters are well known, robust distance determinations to Virgo and Fornax will establish the Hubble constant for the local universe. In a...
متن کاملApparent 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 کاملNew Modeling of the Lensing Galaxy and Cluster of Q0957+561: Implications for the Global Value of the Hubble Constant
The gravitational lens 0957+561 is modeled utilizing recent observations of the galaxy and the cluster as well as previous VLBI radio data which have been re-analyzed recently. The galaxy is modeled by a power-law elliptical mass density with a small core while the cluster is modeled by a non-singular power-law sphere as indicated by recent observations. Using all of the current available data,...
متن کاملThe Hubble Constant
Considerable progress has been made in determining the Hubble constant over the past two decades. We discuss the cosmological context and importance of an accurate measurement of the Hubble constant, and focus on six high-precision distance-determination methods: Cepheids, tip of the red giant branch, maser galaxies, surface-brightnes fluctuations, the TullyFisher relation and Type Ia supernova...
