Clusters of Galaxies: Diagnostic Tools for Cosmology
Sabine Schindler
Clusters of galaxies can be used for very different kinds of cosmological tests. I review a few of the methods: determination of cluster masses and dark matter content, metal enric…
The effect of magnetic fields on the mass determination of clusters of galaxies
Klaus Dolag, Sabine Schindler
We test the effects of magnetic fields on the mass determination of galaxy clusters with the X-ray method. As this method takes into account only thermal pressure, additional non-t…
Simulations of Merging Clusters of Galaxies
Sabine Schindler
Numerical simulations of cluster mergers reveal many characteristics of the merging process: shock structure and strength, observational signatures of the dynamical state, effects…
Optical follow-up of the REFLEX survey: a new perspective in cluster studies
L. T. Barone, E. Molinari, H. Boehringer +8
After the completion of the catalogue built with ESO key program (REFLEX), we are beginning to explore the multiband optical characteristics of a subsample of those clusters select…
