X-ray Surveys of Low-redshift Clusters
نویسنده
چکیده
The selection of clusters of galaxies through their X-ray emission has proved to be an extremely powerful technique over the past four decades. The growth of X-ray astronomy has provided the community with a steadily more detailed view of the intracluster medium in clusters. In this review I will assess how far X-ray surveys of clusters have progressed and how far they still have to travel. 1.

X-ray Surveys of Distant Galaxy Clusters
I review recent observational progress in the search for and study of distant galaxy clusters in the X-ray band, with particular emphasis on the evolution of the abundance of X-ray clusters out to z ∼1. Several on-going deep X-ray surveys have led to the discovery of a sizeable population of clusters at z > 0.5 and have the sensitivity to detect clusters beyond redshift one. These surveys have ...
متن کاملAnisotropies in the redshift-space correlations of galaxy groups and clusters II: Analysis of observational cluster samples
We study the redshift space correlation function of galaxy clusters for observational samples constructed in different surveys. We explore correlation amplitudes, pairwise velocity distributions and bias factors. Systematics in cluster identification procedures are the main source of biased estimates of the correlation amplitude and inferred velocity dispersions. We find that the large elongati...
متن کاملA Richness Study of 14 Distant X - ray Clusters From the 160 Square Degree Survey
We have measured the surface density of galaxies toward 14 X-ray-selected cluster candidates at redshifts z > ∼ 0.46, and we show that they are associated with rich galaxy concentrations. These clusters, having X-ray luminosities between L x (0.5 − 2) ∼ 0.5 − 2.6 × 10 44 ergs s −1 , are among the most distant and luminous in our 160 square degree ROSAT PSPC cluster survey. We find that the clus...
متن کاملPredicting the Clustering of X-Ray Selected Galaxy Clusters in Flux-Limited Surveys
We present a model to predict the clustering properties of X-ray selected clusters in flux-limited surveys. Our technique correctly accounts for past lightcone effects on the observed clustering and follows the non-linear evolution in redshift of the underlying dark matter correlation function and cluster bias factor. The conversion of the limiting flux of a survey into the corresponding minimu...
متن کاملMorphological Redshift Estimates for Galaxy Clusters in a Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect Survey
We develop a new method to estimate the redshift of galaxy clusters through resolved images of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect (SZE). Our method is based on morphological observables which can be measured by actual and future SZE experiments. We test the method with a set of high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters at different redshifts. Our method combines the observables i...
