A tight mass-temperature relation, M(r)/r ~ T_X, is expected in most cosmological models if clusters of galaxies are homologous and the intracluster gas is in global equilibrium with the dark matter. We here calibrate this relation using 8…

X-ray temperature measurements of clusters of galaxies are now reaching to redshifts high enough to constrain Omega_0. A redshift-dependent relation that maps these X-ray temperatures to the virial masses of clusters is an essential…

Using a sample of ten nearby (z< 0.15), relaxed galaxy clusters in the temperature range [2-9] keV, we have investigated the scaling relation between the mass at various density contrasts (delta=2500,1000,500,200) and the cluster…
