A Predicted Relation between the Temperature and Density Profile of Cluster Hot Gas
arXiv:0807.1218 · doi:10.1007/s10509-008-9868-6
Abstract
Based on the assumptions that a fraction of cluster dark matter is composed of degenerate neutrinos and they are in hydrostatic equilibrium with other matter, we predict a relation between the density profile and temperature of the cluster hot gas. The predicted relation agrees with observational data of 103 clusters.
