Measuring the X-ray luminosities of SDSS DR7 clusters from RASS

Abstract

We use ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) broadband X-ray images and the optical clusters identified from SDSS DR7 to estimate the X-ray luminosities around $\sim 65,000$ candidate clusters with masses $\ga 10^{13}\msunh$ based on an Optical to X-ray (OTX) code we develop. We obtain a catalogue with X-ray luminosity for each cluster. This catalog contains 817 clusters (473 at redshift $z\le 0.12$) with $S/N>3$ in X-ray detection. We find about $65\%$ of these X-ray clusters have their most massive member located near the X-ray flux peak; for the rest $35\%$, the most massive galaxy is separated from the X-ray peak, with the separation following a distribution expected from a NFW profile. We investigate a number of correlations between the optical and X-ray properties of these X-ray clusters, and find that: the cluster X-ray luminosity is correlated with the stellar mass (luminosity) of the clusters, as well as with the stellar mass (luminosity) of the central galaxy and the mass of the halo, but the scatter in these correlations is large. Comparing the properties of X-ray clusters of similar halo masses but having different X-ray luminosities, we find that massive halos with masses $\ga 10^{14}\msunh$ contain a larger fraction of red satellite galaxies when they are brighter in X-ray. ... A cluster catalog containing the optical properties of member galaxies and the X-ray luminosity is available at {\it http://gax.shao.ac.cn/data/Group.html}.
