The Empirical X-Ray Luminosity - Gravitational Mass Relation for Clusters of Galaxies

Astrophysics 2021-07-14 v1

Abstract

A sample of one hundred and six X-ray galaxy clusters has been analysed in detail. Here we give the observed X-ray luminosity - gravitational mass relation. Possible future applications include conversion of empirical cluster luminosity functions to mass functions and conversion of simulated mass functions to luminosity functions.
