摘要:

精确测量星系团质量是星系团物理研究和宇宙学探索的重要组成部分。然而,不同的质量测量技术经常产生不一致的结果。SDSS MaxBCG目录的质量丰富度关系先前已使用弱透镜剪切,Sunyaev-Zeldovich(SZ)和X射线测量进行了约束。用弱透镜剪切测量的团簇质量归一化比用SZ和X射线方法测量的高>~25%,这一差异比分析中所述的测量误差大得多。我们通过测量星系团背景中I型类星体的引力透镜放大率来约束MaxBCG星系团星表的质量-丰度关系。利用类星体的光变以及光变幅度与内禀光度之间的相关性来确定放大率。通过放大确定的质量丰富度关系与使用剪切测量的一致,证实了簇的透镜强度意味着高质量归一化,并且与其他方法的差异不是由于剪切相关的系统测量误差。我们研究了测量的质量归一化的集群晕方向的依赖性。正如预期的那样,视线集群产生更高的标准化,然而,这少数晕不显着偏置的平均质量丰富度关系的目录。

英文摘要:

Accurate measurement of galaxy cluster masses is an essential component not only in studies of cluster physics, but also for probes of cosmology. However, different mass measurement techniques frequently yield discrepant results. The SDSS MaxBCG catalog's mass-richness relation has previously been constrained using weak lensing shear, Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ), and X-ray measurements. The mass normalization of the clusters as measured by weak lensing shear is >~25% higher than that measured using SZ and X-ray methods, a difference much larger than the stated measurement errors in the analyses. We constrain the mass-richness relation of the MaxBCG galaxy cluster catalog by measuring the gravitational lensing magnification of type I quasars in the background of the clusters. The magnification is determined using the quasars' variability and the correlation between quasars' variability amplitude and intrinsic luminosity. The mass-richness relation determined through magnification is in agreement with that measured using shear, confirming that the lensing strength of the clusters implies a high mass normalization, and that the discrepancy with other methods is not due to a shear-related systematic measurement error. We study the dependence of the measured mass normalization on the cluster halo orientation. As expected, line-of-sight clusters yield a higher normalization; however, this minority of haloes does not significantly bias the average mass-richness relation of the catalog.
