- Description:
- We report the scaling relations derived by fitting the X-ray parameters determined from analyzing the XMM-Newton observations of 120 galaxy clusters in the Planck Early Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) sample spanning the redshift range of 0.059<z<0.546. We find that the slopes of all the investigated scaling relations significantly deviate from the self-similar predictions, if self-similar redshift evolution is assumed. When the redshift evolution is left free to vary, the derived slopes are more in agreement with the self-similar predictions. Relaxed clusters have on average ~30% higher X-ray luminosity than disturbed clusters at a given mass, a difference that, depending on the relative fraction of relaxed and disturbed clusters in the samples (e.g., SZ vs. X-ray selected), has a strong impact on the normalization obtained in different studies. Using the core-excised cluster luminosities reduces the scatter and brings into better agreement the L-M_tot_ and L-T relations determined for different samples. M_tot_-T, M_tot_-YX, and M_tot_-M_gas_ relations show little dependence on the dynamical state of the clusters, but the normalizations of these relations may depend on the mass range investigated. Although most of the clusters investigated in this work reside at relatively low redshift, the fits prefer values of {gamma}, the parameter accounting for the redshift evolution, different from the self-similar predictions. This suggests an evolution (<2{sigma} level, with the exception of the M_tot_-T relation) of the scaling relations. For the first time, we find significant evolution (>3{sigma}) of the M_tot_-T relation, pointing to an increase of the kinetic-to-thermal energy ratio with redshift. This is consistent with a scenario in which higher-redshift clusters are on average more disturbed than their lower-redshift counterparts.

- Description:
- The XMM-Newton survey of the Coma cluster of galaxies covers an area of 1.86 square degrees with a mosaic of 16 pointings and has a total useful integration time of 400ks. Detected X-ray sources with extent less than 10" were correlated with catalogued galaxies in the Coma cluster region. The redshift information, which is abundant in this region of the sky, allowed us to separate cluster members from background and foreground galaxies. For the background sources, we recover a typical logN-logS in the flux range 10^-15^-10^-13^erg/s/cm^2^ in the 0.5-2.0keV band.

- X-ray bright AGN in massive galaxy clusters

- Description:
- We present the results of a new analysis of the X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) population residing in and behind 135 of the most massive galaxy clusters in the redshift range of 0.2<z<0.9 observed with Chandra. With a sample of more than 11000 X-ray point sources, we are able to measure, for the first time, evidence for evolution in the cluster AGN population beyond the expected evolution of field AGN. Our analysis shows that overall number density of cluster AGN scales with the cluster mass as ~M_500_-1.2. There is no evidence for the overall number density of cluster member X-ray AGN depending on the cluster redshift in a manner different than field AGN, nor is there any evidence that the spatial distribution of cluster AGN (given in units of the cluster overdensity radius r_500_) strongly depends on the cluster mass or redshift. The M^-1.2+/-0.7^ scaling relation we measure is consistent with theoretical predictions of the galaxy merger rate in clusters, which is expected to scale with the cluster velocity dispersion, {sigma}, as ~{sigma}^-3^ or ~M^-1^. This consistency suggests that galaxy mergers may be an important contributor to the cluster AGN population, a result that is further corroborated by visual inspection of Hubble images for 23 spectroscopically confirmed cluster member AGN in our sample. A merger-driven scenario for the triggering of X-ray AGN is not strongly favoured by studies of field galaxies, however, suggesting that different mechanisms may be primarily responsible for the triggering of cluster and field X-ray AGN.

- Description:
- We perform a comprehensive study of X-ray cavities using a large sample of X-ray targets selected from the Chandra archive. The sample is selected to cover a large dynamic range including galaxy clusters, groups, and individual galaxies. Using {beta}-modeling and unsharp masking techniques, we investigate the presence of X-ray cavities for 133 targets that have sufficient X-ray photons for analysis. We detect 148 X-ray cavities from 69 targets and measure their properties, including cavity size, angle, and distance from the center of the diffuse X-ray gas. We confirm the strong correlation between cavity size and distance from the X-ray center similar to previous studies. We find that the detection rates of X-ray cavities are similar among galaxy clusters, groups and individual galaxies, suggesting that the formation mechanism of X-ray cavities is independent of environment.

- X-ray cluster of galaxies behind the Milky way
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report on the design and status of the Clusters in the Zone of Avoidance (CIZA) project, the first systematic X-ray search for clusters of galaxies behind the Milky Way. Our project, Clusters in the Zone of Avoidance (CIZA), uses X-ray data from the RASS for the initial cluster candidate selection and subsequent optical and NIR observations to confirm or refute the cluster nature of all selected candidates. We demonstrate that an X-ray survey can find galaxy clusters at low Galactic latitude where optical searches are inefficient because of massive obscuration and extinction problems. We discuss the rationale for such a survey in the context of large-scale structure studies and describe in detail the combined X-ray/optical/NIR approach used by CIZA to identify clusters of galaxies at |b|<20{deg}, a region of the sky that has traditionally been excluded from earlier cluster catalogs. So far, CIZA has identified and spectroscopically confirmed 137 galaxy clusters in what used to be the zone of avoidance; additional clusters have been confirmed in imaging observations and await spectroscopic observation. We present a catalog of the 73 X-ray brightest CIZA clusters, 53 (73%) of which are new discoveries.

- Description:
- We have processed 2774 high galactic observations from the XMM archive (as of 2010 May) and extracted a serendipitous catalogue of some 850 clusters of galaxies based on purely X-ray criteria, following the methodology developed for the XMM-Large-Scale Survey. Restricting the sample to the highest signal-to-noise ratio objects (347 clusters), we perform a cosmological analysis using only the X-ray information. The analysis consists in the modelling of the observed colour-magnitude [count rate and hardness ratio (CR-HR)] diagram constructed from cluster instrumental count rates measured in the [0.5-2], [1-2] and [0.5-1] keV bands. A Monte Carlo Markov chain procedure simultaneously fits the cosmological parameters, the evolution of the cluster scaling laws and the selection effects.

- Description:
- A new method for a simultaneous search for clusters of galaxies in X-ray photon maps and optical galaxy maps is described. The method appears ideally suited for the analysis of the recently proposed wide-angle X-ray missions like DUO and ROSITA. As a first application, clusters are extracted from the 3rd version of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (<IX/10>) and the Early Date Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, <J/AJ/123/567>). The time-consuming computations are performed within the German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (GAVO). On a test area of 140 square degrees, 75 X-ray clusters are detected down to an X-ray flux limit of 3-5*10^-13^erg/s/cm^2^ in the ROSAT energy band 0.1-2.4keV. The clusters have redshifts z<0.5.

- Description:
- By combining the REFLEX and NORAS cluster data sets with the NVSS radio catalogue, we obtain a sample of 145, z<0.3, X-ray-selected clusters brighter than 3x10^-12^erg/s/cm^-2^ that show a central radio emission above 3mJy. For virial masses M_vir_<10^14.5^M_{sun}_, 11 clusters out of 12 (corresponding to 92 per cent of the systems) are inhabited by a central radio source.

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We determine the quantitative morphology and star formation properties of galaxies in six nearby X-ray-detected, poor groups using multiobject spectroscopy and wide-field R imaging. The mean recessional velocities of the galaxy groups range from 2843 to 7558km/s. Each group has 1538 confirmed members ranging in luminosity from dwarfs to giants (-13.7>=M_R_-5logh>=-21.9). We measure structural parameters for each galaxy by fitting a PSF-convolved, two-component model to their surface brightness profiles. To compare the samples directly, we fade, smooth, and rebin each galaxy image so that we effectively observe each galaxy at the same redshift (9000km/s) and physical resolution (0.87h^-1^kpc). The structural parameters are combined with [O II] measurements to test for correlations between morphological characteristics and current star formation in these galaxies. We compare results for the groups to a sample of field galaxies.
