AbstractWe measure the evolution of the velocity dispersion--temperature ($sigma_{ m v}$--$T_{ m X}$) relation up to $z = 1$ using a sample of 38 galaxy clusters drawn from the extit{XMM} Cluster Survey. This work improves upon previous studies by the use of a homogeneous cluster sample and in terms of the number of high redshift clusters included. We present here new redshift and velocity dispersion measurements for 12 $z > 0.5$ clusters observed with the GMOS instruments on the Gemini telescopes. Using an orthogonal regression method, we find that the slope of the relation is steeper than that expected if clusters were self-similar, and that the evolution of the normalisation is slightly negative, but not significantly different from zero ($sigma_{ m v} propto T^{0.86 pm 0.14} E(z)^{-0.37 pm 0.33}$). We verify our results by applying our methods to cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. The lack of evolution seen from the data suggests that the feedback does not significantly heat the gas, a result that is consistent with simulations including radiative cooling.
