Abstract

We have analyzed the dependences of the threshold value of amplitude of linear density fluctuation collapsed at the current epoch, δc\delta_c, and its overdensity after virialization, Δc\Delta_c, on matter density content, 3D curvature parameter and cosmological constant. Though the range for the threshold values of perturbation amplitude is quite narrow - 1.55δc1.751.55\le \delta_c\le 1.75 in the region of parameters 0.4Ωk0.4-0.4\le\Omega_k\le0.4, 0ΩΛ10\le\Omega_{\Lambda}\le 1, 0.1Ωm10.1\le\Omega_m\le 1, the difference in the concentrations of rich clusters of galaxies (calculated within the Press-Schechter formalism framework) with real and with canonical values of δc\delta_c reaches, and for some models exceeds, 30%. The range of changes for the overdensity after virialization, Δc\Delta_c, is considerably wider for the same region of parameters: 60Δc18060\le\Delta_c\le180. It results into difference up to 40\sim40% between the X-ray temperatures of gas, as calculated for these values and for the canonical value of Δc=178\Delta_c=178. Also we have found analytical approximations of the dependences δc(Ωm,ΩΛ)\delta_c(\Omega_m,\Omega_{\Lambda}) and Δc(Ωm,ΩΛ)\Delta_c(\Omega_m,\Omega_{\Lambda}) with their accuracies for above mentioned region of parameters being no worse than 0.2% and 1.7% respectively.
