The Dark Matter Haloes of Chandra X-ray Galaxy Clusters and Baryons Effect

Abstract

We present results based on Chandra observations of a large sample of 129 hot galaxy clusters. We measure the concentration parameter c_200, the dark mass M_200 and the baryonic mass content in all the objects of our sample, providing the largest dataset of mass parameters for galaxy clusters in the redshift range z = 0.01 - 1.4. We confirm a that a tight correlation between c_200 and M_200, c \propto M^a_vir /(1+z)^b with a = -0.56 +/- 0.15 and b =0.80 +/- 0.25 (68 per cent confidence limits), is present, in good agreement with the predictions from numerical simulations and previous observations. Fitting the mass profile with a generalized NFW model, we got the inner slope alpha, with alpha = 0.94 +/- 0.13. Finally, we show that the inner slope of the density profile, alpha correlates with the baryonic mass content, M_b : namely alpha is decreasing with increasing baryonic mass content.
