An X-ray review of MS1054-0321: hot or not?

Abstract

XMM-Newton observations are presented for the z=0.83 cluster of galaxies MS1054-0321, the highest redshift cluster in the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS). The temperature inferred by the XMM-Newton data, T=7.2 (+0.7, -0.6) keV, is much lower than the temperature previously reported from ASCA data, T=12.3 (+3.1, -2.2) keV (Donahue et al. 1998), and a little lower than the Chandra temperature, T=10.4(+1.7, -1.5) keV, determined by Jeltema et al. 2001. The discrepancy between the newly derived temperature and the previously derived temperatures is discussed in detail. If one allows the column density to be a free parameter, then the best fit temperature becomes T=8.6 (+1.2, -1.1) keV, and the best fit column density becomes N_(H)=1.33 (+0.15 -0.14) x 10^20 atoms/cm^2. The iron line is well detected in the XMM-Newton spectrum with a value for the abundance of Z=0.33 (+0.19 -0.18) Zsol, in very good agreement with previous determinations. The derived XMM X-ray luminosity for the overall cluster in the 2-10 keV energy band is L_X=(3.81 +/- 0.19) x 10^44 h^-2 erg s^-1 while the bolometric luminosity is L_BOL=(8.05+/-0.40) x 10^44 h^-2 erg s^-1. The XMM-Newton data confirm the substructure in the cluster X-ray morphology already seen by ROSAT and in much more detail by Chandra. The central weak lensing clump is coincident with the main cluster component and has a temperature T=8.1 (+1.3, -1.2) keV. The western weak lensing clump coincides with the western X-ray component which is much cooler with a temperature T=5.6 (+0.8, -0.6)$ keV. Given the newly determined temperature, MS1054-0321 is no longer amongst the hottest clusters known.
