Tracing the non-thermal pressure and hydrostatic bias in galaxy clusters

Abstract

We present a modelization of the non-thermal pressure, $P_{NT}$, and we apply it to the X-ray (and Sunayev-Zel'dovich) derived radial profiles of the X-COP galaxy clusters. We relate the amount of non-thermal pressure support to the hydrostatic bias, $b$, and speculate on how we can interpret this $P_{NT}$ in terms of the expected levels of turbulent velocity and magnetic fields. Current upper limits on the turbulent velocity in the intracluster plasma are used to build a distribution $\mathcal{N}(<b)-b$, from which we infer that 50 per cent of local galaxy clusters should have $b<0.2$ ($b<0.33$ in 80 per cent of the population). The measured bias in the X-COP sample that includes relaxed massive nearby systems is 0.03 in 50% of the objects and 0.17 in 80% of them. All these values are below the amount of bias required to reconcile the observed cluster number count in the cosmological framework set from Planck.
