XXL Survey groups and clusters in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey. Scaling relations between X-ray properties and weak lensing mass

Abstract

Scaling relations trace the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters. We exploited multi-wavelength surveys -- the XXL survey at XMM-Newton in the X-ray band, and the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program for optical weak lensing -- to study an X-ray selected, complete sample of clusters and groups. The scalings of gas mass, temperature, and soft-band X-ray luminosity with the weak lensing mass show imprints of radiative cooling and AGN feedback in groups. From the multi-variate analysis, we found some evidence for steeper than self-similar slopes for gas mass (βmg|m=1.73 0.80) and luminosity (βl|m=1.910.94) and a nearly self-similar slope for the temperature (βt|m=0.780.43). Intrinsic scatters of X-ray properties appear to be positively correlated at a fixed mass (median correlation factor X1X2|m0.34) due to dynamical state and merger history of the halos. Positive correlations with the weak lensing mass (median correlation factor mwlX|m0.35) can be connected to triaxiality and orientation. Comparison of weak lensing and hydrostatic masses suggests a small role played by non-thermal pressure support (917\%).
