We report the results of our study of fractional entropy enhancement in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of the clusters from the representative XMM-Newton cluster structure survey (REXCESS). We compare the observed entropy profile of these…
We present XMM-Newton results on the temperature profiles of a volume-limited sample of galaxy clusters at redshifts z~0.3, selected from the REFLEX survey (REFLEX-DXL sample). In the spectral analysis, where only the energies above 1 keV…

The entropy of the intracluster medium at large radii has been shown recently to deviate from the self-similar scaling with temperature. Using N-body/hydrodynamic simulations of the LCDM cosmology, we demonstrate that this deviation is…

We investigate the form and evolution of the X-ray luminosity-temperature (LT) relation of a sample of 114 galaxy clusters observed with Chandra at 0.1<z<1.3. The clusters were divided into subsamples based on their X-ray morphology or…
Galaxy clusters are the most recent products of hierarchical accretion over cosmological scales. The gas accreted from the cosmic field is thermalized inside the cluster halo. Gas entropy and pressure are expected to have a self-similar…
Properties of high redshift clusters are a fundamental source of information for cosmology. It has been shown by Oukbir and Blanchard (1997) that the combined knowledge of the redshift distribution of X-ray clusters of galaxies and the…
(Abridged) We present an analysis of the mass and entropy profiles of three poor clusters (A1991, A2717 and MKW9) observed with XMM-Newton. The clusters have similar temperatures (kT=2.65, 2.53 and 2.58 keV), and similar redshifts (0.04 < z…
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…
