Abstract

We present the first weak-lensing mass calibration and X-ray scaling relations of galaxy clusters and groups selected in the Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS) observed by Spectrum Roentgen Gamma/ over a contiguous footprint with an area of deg, using the three-year (S19A) weak-lensing data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program survey. In this work, a sample of optically confirmed galaxy clusters (and groups) at redshift with a median of is studied, of which systems are uniformly covered by the HSC survey to enable the extraction of the weak-lensing shear observable. In a Bayesian population modelling, we perform a blind analysis for the weak-lensing mass calibration by simultaneously modelling the observed count rate and the shear profile of individual clusters through the count rate-to-mass-and-redshift (----) and weak-lensing mass-to-mass-and-redshift (----) relations, respectively, while accounting for the bias in these observables using simulation-based calibrations. As a result, the count rate-inferred and lensing-calibrated cluster mass is obtained from the joint modelling of the scaling relations, as the ensemble mass spanning a range of with a median of for the eFEDS sample. With the mass calibration, we further model the X-ray observable-to-mass-and-redshift relations, including the rest-frame soft-band and bolometric luminosity ( and ), the emission-weighted temperature , the mass of intra-cluster medium , and the mass proxy , which is the product of and .
