We investigate evolution of the intracluster medium (ICM), considering the relaxation process between the ions and electrons. According to the standard scenario of structure formation, ICM is heated by the shock in the accretion flow to the…

We study the evolution of the ICM with a sample of 70 galaxy clusters spanning 0.18 < z < 1.24. We find that X-ray luminosity and ICM mass at a fixed temperature evolve with redshift in a manner inconsistent with the standard self-similar…

We investigate core structures of X-ray emitting intracluster gas based on the so-called beta-model, which is an isothermal hydrostatic model often used in observational studies. We reconsider the beta-model and find that the virial…

Long arcs in clusters of galaxies, produced by gravitational lensing, can be used to estimate the mass interior to the arcs and therefore, constrain the cluster mass distribution. The radial density distribution of the intracluster gas…
