Cluster Classification Just like galaxies, clusters classified morphologically. Overall Compact Medium Compact Open Linear Bautz Morgan classes I, I-II, II, II-III, III based on the ratio between the brightness of 1st and rest I -- single central cD galaxy c.f. A2029 II -- intermediate III -- no dominant cluster galaxy c.f. Hercules
Rood-Sastry cD -- like BM I types B -- Binary c.f. Coma L -- Linear C -- Core Compact F -- Flat I -- Irregular Tuning Forks Rood-Sastry cD -- B Struble & Rood I -- F B -- cD L -- F C -- I L C

Physics of Galaxy Clusters To 0th order, assume spherical, decreasing density from the center. If n(r) is the 3-D number density, the projected density, N(R), is N(R) = n[(R2+z2)½ ] dz = 2 where z is the coordinate along the l.o.s. and R is the projected radius ∞ -∞ r n(r) dr (r2 – R2) ½ ∞ R
Hydrostatic Equilibrium Good basic model for the hot gas is to assume Hydrostatic Equilibrium dPg/dr = - g GM(r)/r2 P = where g means gas = + differentiating the gas law { + } = - g GM(r)/r2 M(r) = { + } kT mp dPg dg kT g k dT dr dr mp mp dr k T dg g dT mp dr dr - rT d ln g d ln T G mpd ln r d ln r density & temperature gradients
You can also treat the galaxies this way, just as a “gas” of much more massive particles = gal P gal = 1/3 <v2> gal = n k Tgal = and we can compare the gas and galaxy distributions since they are living in the same potential. dPgal GM dr r2 <v2> dPgal kTgas 1 dgas 3gal dr mp gas dr

Other Dynamical Quantities Crossing Time tcross ~ R/ ~ 2 x 109 yr for R=RA and H=70 Dynamical relaxation (Virialization) takes places on timescales of the crossing time, so (1) clusters are generally relaxed, and the centers of the clusters relax first Two-Body Relaxation time is long in clusters trelax ~ tcross (N / ln N) so cluster galaxies are not in “thermal” equilibrium
X-ray Emission Spectrum of x-ray gas is optically thin thermal bremhmmsstrahlung (free-free emission) plus emission lines
X-ray emission from Coma. ROSAT (left) and XMM (right). Note structure in the images.

Flat then exponentially decreasing. Typical x-ray temperatures are ~ 50 million degrees or kT = 5 kev For a thermal pasma of solar abundance, bremsstrahlung alone gives eff 3.0 x10-27 (T / 1K) ½ (ne / 1 cm-3)2 erg cm-3 s-1

A Case Study - The Virgo Cluster Assume D = 16 Mpc (HST Key Project) Zw-B(0) magnitudes 6o Core v = 716 km/s rH ~ 0.8 Mpc MP ~ 8 x 1014 M M/LB ~ 750 (M/L) But (1) substructure exists, (2) there is at least one background group contaminating at 2200 km/s (Virgo W), and (3) Spirals avoid the center and appear to be infalling.
Markarian’s Chain Virgo Cluster
First problem is to find where the cluster really is: JH85 from CfA survey, luminosity weighted center of all galaxies with v < 3000 km/s, m 14.5 error ~ 3’ --- iterate on sample Isopleths in the Zwicky catalog
Virgo Great Wall Background Cl. All known velocities in the 6 degree radius circle.
Spirals and Ellipticals are not in the same place in the cluster --- Spirals avoid the center.
Virgo Surface Density A hole around M87! How much of this is just due to the Spirals?
