The determination of the mean density of the Universe is a long standing problem of modern cosmology. The number density evolution of x-ray clusters at a fixed temperature is a powerful cosmological test, new in nature (Oukbir and…
The abundance of galaxy clusters is in principle a powerful tool to constrain cosmological parameters, especially $\Omega_\mathrm{m}$ and $\sigma_8$, due to the exponential dependence in the high-mass regime. While the best observables are…

We constrain Omega_m through a maximum likelihood analysis of temperatures and redshifts of the high-redshift clusters from the EMSS. We simultaneously fit the low-redshift Markevitch (1998) sample (an all-sky sample from ROSAT with z=0.04-…
We re-examine the constraints which can be robustly obtained from the observed temperature function of X-ray cluster of galaxies. The cluster mass function has been thoroughly studied in simulations and analytically, but a direct simulation…

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…
We describe the ensemble X-ray properties of high redshift clusters with emphasis on changes with respect to the local population. Cluster X-ray luminosity evolution is detected in five nearly independent surveys. The relevant issue now is…
The evolution with redshift of the temperature-luminosity relation of X-ray galaxy clusters is a key ingredient to break degeneracies in the interpretation of X-ray clusters redshift number counts. We therefore take advantage of the recent…
We use $N$-body simulations to measure mass functions in flat cosmological models with quintessence characterized by constant $w$ with $w=-1$, -2/3 and -1/2. The results are compared to the predictions of the formula proposed by Jenkins et…
We analyze the ROSAT Deep Cluster Survey (RDCS) to derive cosmological constraints from the evolution of the cluster X-ray luminosity distribution. The sample contains 103 galaxy clusters out to z=0.85 and flux-limit Flim=3 10^{-14} cgs…
Evolution of the cluster population has been recognized as a powerful cosmological tool. While the present--day abundance of X-ray clusters is degenerate in $\sigma_8$, $n$ and $\Omega_0$, Oukbir and Blanchard (1992, 1997) have pointed out…
X-ray observations of galaxy clusters potentially provide powerful cosmological probes if systematics due to our incomplete knowledge of the intracluster medium (ICM) physics are understood and controlled. In this paper, we present mock…
The redshift evolution of the galaxy cluster temperature function is a powerful probe of cosmology. However, its determination requires the measurement of redshifts for all clusters in a catalogue, which is likely to prove challenging for…
We consider the non-radial motions, originating in the outskirts of clusters of galaxies and we show how it may reduce the discrepancy between Cold Dark Matter (CDM) predicted X-ray temperature distribution function of clusters of galaxies…
The X-ray luminosities of the hot halo gas around simulated, Milky Way like disk galaxies have been determined, as a function of redshift. The X-ray luminosity increases significantly with redshift, in some cases as much as a factor 30…
