Stacking Clusters in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey | Matthias Bartelmann

2 Oct 2002 | Journal: | Astron.Astrophys. 407 (2003) 845-854 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | Ongoing and planned wide-area surveys at optical and infrared wavelengths should detect a few times 10^5 galaxy clusters, roughly 10% of which are expected to be at redshifts >~ 0.8. We investigate what can be learned about the X-ray emission of these clusters from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. While individual clusters at redshifts >~ 0.5 contribute at most a few photons to the survey, a significant measurement of the mean flux of cluster subsamples can be obtained by stacking cluster fields. We show that the mean X-ray luminosity of clusters with mass M >~ 2 x 10^{14} M_sun/h selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey should be measurable out to redshift unity with signal-to-noise >~ 10, even if clusters are binned with Delta z=0.1 and Delta ln M ~ 0.3. For such bins, suitably chosen hardness ratio allows the mean temperature of clusters to be determined out to z ~ 0.7 with a relative accuracy of Delta T/T <~ 0.15 for M > 10^{14} M_sun/h. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0210067 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
