Galaxy cluster hydrostatic masses using Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation
arXiv:1909.07408 · doi:10.1016/j.dark.2020.100499
Abstract
Motivated by previous studies in literature about the potential importance of relativistic corrections to galaxy cluster hydrostatic masses, we calculate the masses of 12 relaxed clusters (with Chandra X-ray data) using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkov (TOV) equation of hydrostatic equilibrium and the ideal gas equation of state. Analytical formulae for gas density and temperature profiles for these clusters, previously derived by Vikhlinin et al (astro-ph/0507092) were used to obtain these masses. We compare the TOV-based masses with those obtained using the corresponding Newtonian equation of hydrostatic equilibrium. We find that the fractional relative difference between the two masses are negligible, corresponding to .
