Abstract

This is the fourth of a series of papers on low X-ray luminosity galaxy clusters. The sample comprises 45 galaxy clusters with X-ray luminosities fainter than 0.7 1044^{44} erg s1^{-1} at redshifts lower than 0.2 in the regions of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The sample of spectroscopic members of the galaxy clusters was obtained with the criteria: rp_p \le 1 Mpc and ΔVσ\Delta V \leq \sigma using our σ\sigma estimates containing 21 galaxy clusters with more than 6 spectroscopic members. We have also defined a sample of photometric members with galaxies that satisfy rp_p \le 1 Mpc, and ΔV\Delta V \leq 6000 \kms including 45 galaxy clusters with more than 6 cluster members. We have divided the redshift range in three bins: z0.065z \leq 0.065; 0.065 << z << 0.10; and z \ge 0.10. We have stacked the galaxy clusters using the spectroscopic sub-sample and we have computed the best RS linear fit within 1σ\sigma dispersion. With the photometric sub-sample, we have added more data to the RS obtaining the photometric 1σ\sigma dispersion relative to the spectroscopic RS fit. We have computed the luminosity function using the 1/Vmax1/V_{max} method fitting it with a Schechter function. The obtained parameters for these galaxy clusters with low X-ray luminosities are remarkably similar to those for groups and poor galaxy clusters at these lower redshifts.
