摘要:

星系团观测量与质量的标度性质提供了核心的见解塑造集群的过程。通过即将到来的eROSITA和Euclid等调查,校准星团质量的代理将对星团宇宙学至关重要。最近的普朗克实验结果表明,X射线质量可能会受到$\sim\!40$ %的偏置,比以前考虑的要多。我们扩展了直接校准的弱透镜-X射线质量缩放对较低的群众(低至$1\!\times\!10^{14}\,\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$)在一个样本代表的$z\!\sim\!0.4$ - $0.5$人口。我们调查的MMT/Megacam弱透镜(WL)群众的缩放$8$集群在$0.39\!\leq\!z\!\leq\!0.80$的\emph{400d} WL程序的一部分,流体静力学\textit{Chandra} X射线群众以及那些基于代理,例如$Y_{\mathrm{X}}\!=\!T_{\mathrm{X}}M_{\mathrm{gas}}$。总的来说,我们发现WL和X射线质量之间的一致性很好,不同的质量偏差估计值都与零一致。对样本进行细分,我们发现高质量子样本没有显示出显著的质量偏差,而对于低质量子样本,在$\sim\!2σ$水平上,对于某些质量代理,存在高估X射线质量的偏差。质量-质量比例关系的总体离散度令人惊讶地低。这两个观察结果都不能追溯到WL分析中的参数设置。我们没有发现证据的强烈($\sim\!40$ %)低估的X射线的质量,建议调和普朗克集团计数和宇宙学约束。对于高质量的集群,我们的测量与文献中的研究是一致的。$\sim\!2σ$中显着的质量依赖性偏差可能暗示了物理上不同的集群群体(具有更多子结构和合并的不太宽松的集群);或者这可能是由于少量统计数据造成的。

英文摘要:

Scaling properties of galaxy cluster observables with mass provide central insights into the processes shaping clusters. Calibrating proxies for cluster mass will be crucial to cluster cosmology with upcoming surveys like eROSITA and Euclid. The recent Planck results led to suggestions that X-ray masses might be biased low by $\sim\!40$ %, more than previously considered. We extend the direct calibration of the weak lensing -- X-ray mass scaling towards lower masses (as low as $1\!\times\!10^{14}\,\mathrm{M}_{\odot}$) in a sample representative of the $z\!\sim\!0.4$--$0.5$ population. We investigate the scaling of MMT/Megacam weak lensing (WL) masses for $8$ clusters at $0.39\!\leq\!z\!\leq\!0.80$ as part of the \emph{400d} WL programme with hydrostatic \textit{Chandra} X-ray masses as well as those based on the proxies, e.g. $Y_{\mathrm{X}}\!=\!T_{\mathrm{X}}M_{\mathrm{gas}}$. Overall, we find good agreement between WL and X-ray masses, with different mass bias estimators all consistent with zero. Subdividing the sample, we find the high-mass subsample to show no significant mass bias while for the low-mass subsample, there is a bias towards overestimated X-ray masses at the $\sim\!2σ$ level for some mass proxies. The overall scatter in the mass-mass scaling relations is surprisingly low. Neither observation can be traced back to the parameter settings in the WL analysis. We do not find evidence for a strong ($\sim\!40$ %) underestimate in the X-ray masses, as suggested to reconcile Planck cluster counts and cosmological constraints. For high-mass clusters, our measurements are consistent with studies in the literature. The mass dependent bias, significant at $\sim\!2σ$, may hint at a physically different cluster population (less relaxed clusters with more substructure and mergers); or it may be due to small number statistics.
