The Galaxy Cluster Mass Scale and Its Impact on Cosmological Constraints from the Cluster Population

Abstract: The total mass of a galaxy cluster is one of its most fundamental properties. Together with the redshift, the mass links observation and theory, allowing us to use the cluster population to test models of structure formation and to constrain cosmological parameters. Building on the rich heritage from X-ray surveys, new results from Sunyaev-Zeldovich and optical surveys have stimulated a resurgence of interest in cluster cosmology. These studies have generally found fewer clusters than predicted by the baseline… Show more

“…Under the HE assumption non-thermal pressure and large-scale gas motions are neglected in the Euler equation (see e.g. the discussion in §2.3 of Pratt et al 2019). However, in massive systems in the process of assembly, there is no a priori reason to assume that simplifying assumption to hold.…”

“…However, the scaling relations between a cluster's mass and its SZ signal are not very well determined, and usually they need to be calibrated for each survey. This determination of cluster masses currently provides the largest source of uncertainty when obtaining cosmological information from galaxy clusters (Planck 2015Results XXIV 2016Pratt et al 2019).…”

“…Non-thermal pressure in the outer part of galaxy clusters has not yet been observed directly, and thus the cluster mass estimates based on the HSE assumption remain uncertain or inaccurate (e.g., Nagai et al 2007a;Lau et al 2009Lau et al , 2013Suto et al 2013;Nelson et al 2014a;Shi et al 2016;Biffi et al 2016;Henson et al 2017). It is important to understand the origin and the contribution of non-thermal pressure in the next decade when large cosmological surveys are conducted; inaccurate cluster masses may lead to biased inference of cosmological parameters (Pratt et al 2019, for a recent review).…”
