摘要:

局部聚类子结构调查(LoCuSS,Smith等人)是从ROSAT全天巡天中选出的>100个X射线发光星系团(0.14<z<0.3)的系统多波长巡天。我们使用XMM-牛顿存档的37个LoCuSS星系团的数据来研究星系团的全球尺度关系。仅基于X射线数据的标度关系服从经验自相似性,并揭示没有额外的演变超出LSS的增长。弱透镜质量测量也可在文献中的19个集群与XMM-牛顿数据。弱透镜质量与基于X射线的质量比的平均值为1.09+/-8,将非热压力支持的限制设定为9+/-8%。这些团簇的弱透镜质量与X射线质量比的平均值约为1,散射率为31-51%。使用基于X射线的质量时,质量-可观测关系(M-Y_X、M_{gas}和M-T)中的散射比使用弱透镜质量时小2倍。利用由Y_X轮廓定义的定标半径,我们得到了基于弱透镜质量的质量-可观测关系的较低散射。使用X射线(弱透镜效应)质量估计的M-Y_X关系(也称为M_{gas}和M-T关系)的归一化比模拟结果低20%(约3 sigma(约2 sigma)显著性)。尽管在X射线透镜比较大的散射,这两个完全独立的观测方法之间的协议是一个重要的一步,控制天体物理学和测量系统的宇宙学标度关系。

英文摘要:

The Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS, Smith et al.) is a systematic multi-wavelength survey of >100 X-ray luminous galaxy clusters (0.14<z<0.3) selected from the ROSAT all sky survey. We used data on 37 LoCuSS clusters from the XMM-Newton archive to investigate the global scaling relations of galaxy clusters. The scaling relations based solely on the X-ray data obey empirical self-similarity and reveal no additional evolution beyond the LSS growth. Weak lensing mass measurements are also available in the literature for 19 of the clusters with XMM-Newton data. The average of the weak lensing mass to X-ray based mass ratio is 1.09+/-8, setting the limit of the non-thermal pressure support to 9+/-8%. The mean of the weak lensing mass to X-ray based mass ratio of these clusters is ~1 with 31-51% scatter. The scatter in the mass--observable relations (M-Y_X, M-M_{gas} and M-T) is smaller using X-ray based masses than using weak lensing masses by a factor of 2. Using the scaled radius defined by the Y_X profile, we obtain lower scatter in the weak lensing mass based mass--observable relations. The normalization of the M-Y_X relation (also M-M_{gas} and M-T relations) using X-ray (weak lensing) mass estimates is lower than the one from simulations by up to 20% at ~3 sigma (~2 sigma) significance. Despite the large scatter in the X-ray to lensing comparison, the agreement between these two completely independent observational methods is an important step towards controlling astrophysical and measurement systematics in cosmological scaling relations.
