Properties of galaxy clusters Visible view of clusters:
A group of bound galaxies (galaxies ~2% of the total mass)
X-ray view of clusters: The spherical cloud of gas with
increasing density to the center (gas ~13% of the total mass)
Lensing and X-ray view of cluster: Dark Matter (~85% of the total
mass)X-ray (gas)
Visible (stars)
Self-similar modelHierarchical model of structure formationWe assumed that the formation and the
evolution of structures is simple and driven by the collisionless gravitational collapse of the main dark matter (DM) component the population of galaxy clusters is self similar
Q is: Luminosity (Lx) or total mass (Mtot) or mass of gas (Mgas) or Entropy (S)
T - temperature A(z) is parameter of evolution z – redshift α – slope

Non-gravitational processes in clusters: heating and cooling The gas scaling properties are different from expected in the
simple gravitational model Cluster gas is not purely governed by gravitational effects
Starting point of this research: The recent ideas to explain these deviations based on
processes of: (pre)heating (SuperNova, Active Galaxy Nucleus…); cooling (conductivity…);
Cooling and heating processes in clusters are not yet well understood.
To study these phenomenon it is necessary to understand the history of clusters: compare distant clusters at large redshifts and nearby clusters (~20 clusters from opentime and archives)
