Relations of Physical Properties for a Large Sample of X-Ray Galaxy Clusters

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

One hundred and six galaxy clusters have been studied in detail using X-ray data and important global physical properties have been determined. Correlations between these properties are studied with respect to the description of clusters as a self-similar class of objects. The results support the self-similar picture only partly and significant deviations are found for some correlations.
