The observation of galaxy and gas distributions, as well as cosmological simulations in a $\Lambda$CDM Universe, suggests that clusters of galaxies are still accreting mass and are not expected to be in equilibrium. In this work, we…

Interaction between dark energy and dark matter is probed through deviation from the virial equilibrium for two relaxed clusters: A586 and A1689. The evaluation of the virial equilibrium is performed using realistic density profiles. The…
