The Hot and Energetic Universe: The evolution of galaxy groups and clusters

E. Pointecouteau, T. H. Reiprich, C. Adami +45

Major astrophysical questions related to the formation and evolution of structures, and more specifically of galaxy groups and clusters, will still be open in the coming decade and…

Scaling relations for galaxy clusters: properties and evolution

S. Giodini, L. Lovisari, E. Pointecouteau +3

Well-calibrated scaling relations between the observable properties and the total masses of clusters of galaxies are important for understanding the physical processes that give ri…

Mass profiles of Galaxy Clusters from X-ray analysis

S. Ettori, A. Donnarumma, E. Pointecouteau +4

We review the methods adopted to reconstruct the mass profiles in X-ray luminous galaxy clusters. We discuss the limitations and the biases affecting these measurements and how the…

Outskirts of Galaxy Clusters

Thomas H. Reiprich, Kaustuv Basu, Stefano Ettori +5

Until recently, only about 10% of the total intracluster gas volume had been studied with high accuracy, leaving a vast region essentially unexplored. This is now changing and a wi…
