We derive the luminosity-temperature relation for clusters of galaxies by means of a modification of the self-similar model to take account of angular momentum acquisition by protostructures and of an external pressure term in the virial…
I derive the mass-temperature relation and its time evolution for clusters of galaxies in different cosmologies by means of two different models. The first one is a modification and improvement of a model by Del Popolo & Gambera(1999),…
We investigate the luminosity-temperature ($L$-$T$) relation of galaxy clusters as a probe for testing modified gravity (MG) theories, focusing on $f(R)$ gravity and symmetron models. Using an improved semi-analytic framework that…
We present results on the total mass and temperature determination using two samples of clusters of galaxies. One sample is constructed with emphasis on the completeness of the sample, while the advantage of the other is the use of the…
We derive constraints on the mass-temperature relation of galaxy clusters from their observed luminosity-temperature relation and X-ray temperature function. Adopting the isothermal gas in hydrostatic equilibrium embedded in the universal…
We present \Chandra\ observations of 23 galaxy groups and low-mass galaxy clusters at $0.03<z<0.15$ with a median temperature of ~2keV. The sample is a statistically complete flux-limited subset of the 400 deg$^2$ survey. We investigated…
Combining conservation of energy throughout nearly-spherical collapse of galaxy clusters with the virial theorem, we derive the mass-temperature relation for X-ray clusters of galaxies $T=CM^{2/3}$. The normalization factor $C$ and the…
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…
The halo mass-temperature relation for a sample of 216 galaxy clusters, groups, and individual galaxies observed by $Chandra$ X-ray Observatory is presented. Using accurate spectral measurements of their hot atmospheres, we derive the $M-T$…
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…
The physical processes that define the spine of the galaxy cluster X-ray luminosity -- temperature (L-T) relation are investigated using a large hydrodynamical simulation of the Universe. This simulation models the same volume and phases as…
While in the hierarchical model of structure formation, groups of galaxies are believed to be the scaled-down version of clusters of galaxies, a similarity breaking in the fundamental laws may occur on the group scale, reflecting a…
We model the effects of shocks on the diffuse, X-ray emitting baryons in clusters of galaxies. Shocks separate the infalling from the inner gas nearly at equilibrium, and dominate the compression and the density gradients of the latter in…
We have obtained the first large sample of accurate temperatures for clusters at z>0.14 from ASCA. We compare the luminosity temperature (L-T) distribution for these clusters with the low redshift sample of David et al (1993) and find that…
We derive the mass-temperature relation using an improved top-hat model and a continuous formation model which takes into account the effects of the ordered angular momentum acquired through tidal-torque interaction between clusters, random…
We analyzed the luminosity-temperature (L-T) relation for 2 samples of galaxy clusters which have all been observed by the ASCA satellite. We used 32 high redshift clusters (0.3<z<0.6), 53 low redshift clusters (z<0.3), and also the…
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…
Extending the results of a previous paper \citep{DelPopolo2005}, by taking into account the role of dynamical friction, we recovered the luminosity-temperature relation (LTR). While by assuming self-similarity, a scaling law in which…
We examine the relationship between the mass and x-ray gas temperature of galaxy clusters using data drawn from the literature. Simple theoretical arguments suggest that the mass of a cluster is related to the x-ray temperature as $M…
