Environmental dependence of X-ray and optical properties of galaxy clusters

Maria Manolopoulou, Ben Hoyle, Robert G. Mann +2

Galaxy clusters are widely used to constrain cosmological parameters through their properties, such as masses, luminosity and temperature distributions. One should take into accoun…

The XMM Cluster Survey: evolution of the velocity dispersion -- temperature relation over half a Hubble time

Susan Wilson, Matt Hilton, Philip J. Rooney +26

We measure the evolution of the velocity dispersion--temperature (--) relation up to using a sample of 38 galaxy clusters drawn from the \textit{XMM}…

The XMM Cluster Survey: Evidence for energy injection at high redshift from evolution of the X-ray luminosity-temperature relation

Matt Hilton, A. Kathy Romer, Scott T. Kay +21

We measure the evolution of the X-ray luminosity-temperature (L_X-T) relation since z~1.5 using a sample of 211 serendipitously detected galaxy clusters with spectroscopic redshift…

The XMM Cluster Survey: Optical analysis methodology and the first data release

Nicola Mehrtens, A. Kathy Romer, E. J. Lloyd-Davies +34

The XMM Cluster Survey (XCS) is a serendipitous search for galaxy clusters using all publicly available data in the XMM-Newton Science Archive. Its main aims are to measure cosmolo…

Early assembly of the most massive galaxies

Chris A. Collins, John P. Stott, Matt Hilton +15

The current consensus is that galaxies begin as small density fluctuations in the early Universe and grow by in situ star formation and hierarchical merging. Stars begin to form re…

The XMM Cluster Survey: The Dynamical State of XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.457

Matt Hilton, Chris A. Collins, S. Adam Stanford +12

We present new spectroscopic observations of the most distant X-ray selected galaxy cluster currently known, XMMXCS J2215.9-1738 at z=1.457, obtained with the DEIMOS instrument at…
