The baryon fraction in galaxy clusters is one of the most direct way to constrain $\omo$. The baryonic fraction is estimated to be in the range fb = (0.15 - 0 .20) h^{-3/2} which is several times higher than expected from the observed light…
Traditionally, galaxy clusters have been expected to retain all the material accreted since their formation epoch. For this reason, their matter content should be representative of the Universe as a whole, and thus their baryon fraction…
We obtained a deep 150ksec Chandra observation of the optically selected cluster of galaxies, RCS 2318+0034, to investigate the gas mass fraction in this system. Combining our deep {\it Chandra} observation with an archival 50ksec…
[Abridged] The analysis of a sample of 52 clusters with precise and hypothesis-parsimonious measurements of mass shows that low mass clusters and groups are not simple scaled-down versions of their massive cousins in terms of stellar…
We present precise measurements of the X-ray gas mass fraction for a sample of luminous, relatively relaxed clusters of galaxies observed with the Chandra Observatory, for which independent confirmation of the mass results is available from…
We apply a unique gas fraction estimator to published X-ray cluster properties and we compare the derived gas fractions of observed clusters to simulated ones. The observations are consistent with a universal gas fraction of…
We use cosmological gas dynamic simulations to investigate the accuracy of galaxy cluster mass estimates based on X-ray observations. The experiments follow the formation of clusters in different cosmological models and include the effects…
We present updated cosmological constraints from measurements of the gas mass fractions ($f_{gas}$) of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our new data set has greater leverage on models of dark energy, thanks to the addition of…
We consider a sample of 22 nearby clusters of galaxies observed with the Medium Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (MECS) on board of BeppoSAX. They cover the range in gas temperature between 3 and 10 keV, with bolometric X-ray luminosity…
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…
We measure the baryons contained in both the stellar and hot gas components for twelve galaxy clusters and groups at z~0.1 with M=1-5e14 Msun. This paper improves upon our previous work through the addition of XMM data, enabling…
We propose a consistency test of some recent X-ray gas mass fraction ($f_{\rm{gas}}$) measurements in galaxy clusters, using the cosmic distance-duality relation, $\eta_{\rm{theory}}=\dl(1+z)^{-2}/\da$, with luminosity distance ($\dl$) data…
We present cosmological constraints from measurements of the gas mass fraction, $f_{gas}$, for massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our data set consists of Chandra observations of 40 such clusters, identified in a comprehensive…
We present the analysis of baryonic and non-baryonic matter distribution in a sample of ten nearby clusters (0.03<z<0.09) with temperatures between 4.7 and 9.4 keV. These galaxy clusters are studied in detail using X-ray data and global…
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…
(Abridged) Based on XMM-Newton, Chandra and SDSS data, we investigate the baryon distribution in groups and clusters and its use as a cosmological constraint. For this, we considered a sample of 123 systems, with total masses in the mass…
I report the current status on the determinations of the baryon fractions and dynamical/lensing masses of galaxy clusters as well as the $\sigma$ - $T$ relationship, making use of all the published data in literature which include 304…
We present gas mass fractions of 38 massive galaxy clusters spanning redshifts from 0.14 to 0.89, derived from Chandra X-ray data and OVRO/BIMA interferometric Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect measurements. We use three models for the gas…
The spatial distribution of gas matter inside galaxy clusters is not completely smooth, but may host gas clumps associated with substructures. These overdense gas substructures are generally a source of unresolved bias of X-ray observations…
We present a 1.1mm stacking analysis of moderately massive (log($M_{*}$/$M_{\odot}$) = 10.7 $\pm$ 0.2) quiescent galaxies (QGs) at $\langle z\rangle \sim1.5$, searching for cold dust continuum emission, an excellent tracer of dust and gas…
