The L_X--M relation of Clusters of Galaxies
E. S. Rykoff, A. E. Evrard, T. A. McKay +8
We present a new measurement of the scaling relation between X-ray luminosity and total mass for 17,000 galaxy clusters in the maxBCG cluster sample. Stacking sub-samples within fi…

Effects of Selection and Covariance on X-ray Scaling Relations of Galaxy Clusters
B. Nord, R. Stanek, E. Rasia +1
We explore how the behavior of galaxy cluster scaling relations are affected by flux-limited selection biases and intrinsic covariance among observable properties. Our models presu…
