1 Intro duction

Galaxy clusters o ccupy a unique p osition in the dynamical evolution of the universe.

Unlikelower-mass systems such as galaxies, which for the most part retain little dynamical

information ab out their formation, clusters of galaxies are within one or two crossing times of

their formation. This suggests that they may retain valuable clues to their initial conditions

(as well as hints ab out the collapse and formation of structure in the early universe). The

e ect of the dense cluster environment on galaxy evolution, as well as other trends in the

physical prop erties of clusters (see, for instance, Dressler 1984; Giovanelli & Haynes 1985;

Edge & Stewart 1991), suggests that they are gravitationally b ound and that their galaxies

no longer participate in the Hubble ow. This distinguishes clusters from sup erclusters and

other large-scale structures. The study of galaxy clusters thus provides a unique opp ortunity

to explore gravitational interactions and dynamical evolution in the universe.

Clusters of galaxies contain two luminous comp onents, hot gas and galaxies. If a clus-

ter is suciently old and unp erturb ed, these tracer particles will have equilibrated within

the cluster gravitational p otential. This enables use of the equations of hydrostatic and

dynamical equilibrium to explore the physical prop erties of these systems. For a hot gas in

equilibrium with a spherical gravitational p otential, the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium 2

resp ectively, and A is the anisotropy parameter describing the distribution of galaxy orbits.

For an isothermal cluster in dynamical equilibrium, with no source of energy other than

gravity, the masses as determined by the galaxies and by the gas are exp ected to b e equal.

As shown by Bahcall & Lubin (1994) among others, the ratio of the kinetic energies of the

galaxies and gas is then equal to the ratio of the logarithmic slop e of the gas density pro le

to that of the galaxies:

(where A = 0 for an isotropic distribution of galaxy orbits). Therefore, using the assumptions

that the gas and galaxies are b oth in equilibrium with the cluster gravitational p otential,

and that gravity is the only source of energy, allows us to predict that the velo city disp ersion

(as measured from galaxy velo cities) and the temp erature of the (as

fit

Despite the many diculties in accurately measuring cluster temp eratures and velo c-

ity disp ersions, studies of X-ray and optical cluster samples reveal a well-b ehaved corre-

lation b etween these quantities (Mushotzky 1984; Edge & Stewart 1991, hereafter ES91;

Lubin & Bahcall 1993, hereafter LB93). The relationship b etween  and T exp ected from

r

virial considerations is consistent with the data, although there is a large scatter ab out the

0:5

 / T line. This scatter has b een attributed to incomplete gas thermalization, co oling

r

ows, velo city anisotropies in the galaxy orbits, foreground/background contamination, and

substructure in the clusters (cf. ES91; LB93 and references therein).

It is imp ortant to rememb er, however, that the predicted  T correlation derives

r

from the virial theorem, and that in order to test it one must consider the dynamical state

of the clusters in the dataset (cf. Gerbal et al. 1994). The high frequency of substructure

in clusters of all morphologies, as determined by b oth X-ray and optical studies (see, e.g.

Davis & Mushotzky 1993; Mohr, Fabricant & Geller 1993; Beers et al. 1991; Bird 1993,

1994), is generally b elieved to indicate that clusters are dynamically-young. If clusters are

only within a few crossing times of formation, then in many cases virial equilibrium has

not b een established. This certainly in uences the broad distribution of clusters ab out the

0:5

canonical  / T relation.

r

In this pap er we will quantify the e ects of morphology and substructure on the velo city

disp ersion-temp erature correlation for clusters. In Section 2 we present the limited cluster

sample, in which the morphological typ e of the cluster sample has b een restricted and the

e ects of substructure have b een minimized. Wehave supplemented the available published

X-ray temp erature data with new, more accurate temp eratures from ASCA and Ginga.In

Section 3 we present the regressions b etween the velo city disp ersion and temp erature. Section 4

4 summarizes prop osed mechanisms for mo difying the slop e of the  T correlation. In

r

Section 5 we present a summary. 5

2 The Limited Cluster Sample

The morphology of a cluster may b e describ ed by its gas and/or galaxy distribution.

As our observations of clusters have improved, it has b ecome clear that morphology is re-

lated to the dynamical age of a cluster. Irregular clusters are dynamically young, and tend

to b e spiral-rich and gas-p o or. They tend to have non-Gaussian velo city distributions and

kinematically-distinct sub concentrations of galaxies. Regular clusters are dominated by el-

lipticals, have Gaussian velo city distributions and tend to b e luminous X-ray emitters (cf.

Sarazin 1988 and references therein; Bird 1993,1994).

Bird (1994) presents a detailed analysis of the dynamics of nearby clusters (z<0:1)

with central galaxies. These clusters tend to have smo oth morphologies and X-ray co oling

ows, and in the past it has b een assumed that they represent the most relaxed, dynamically-

evolved clusters in the universe. However, Bird (1994) shows that these clusters also p ossess

signi cant substructure. An ob jective partitioning algorithm called KMM (McLachlan &

Basford 1988; Ashman, Bird & Zepf 1994) is used to remove galaxies b elonging to subsystems

in the clusters, and the dynamical prop erties of the \cleaned" (i.e., substructure corrected)

cluster datasets are presented. It is the 25 clusters in this \cD database" which form the

optical sample of the present analysis.

Of the 25 clusters used in Bird (1994), 21 have accurate X-ray temp erature measure-

ments. These clusters, which will b e referred to as the limited cluster sample, are listed in

Table 1. Table 1 includes the following information: column (1), the cluster name; (2), the

1-D velo city disp ersion of the cluster (estimated using the robust biweight estimator S ,

BI

Beers, Flynn & Gebhardt 1991) without substructure correction; (3), the velo city disp ersion

corrected for substructure; (4), the X-ray temp erature, (5) the source co de for the X-ray

measurement. The optical are taken from the literature, with sources given in Bird

(1994). In addition wehave added the Cluster (A3526), whichwas excluded 6

from the cD study b ecause of its proximity. The X-ray temp eratures are taken from single-

temp erature mo dels to ASCA or Ginga sp ectra where available, and then from EXOSAT and

the Einstein MPC. For the clusters A1736 and A3558, the GINGA observations are b est- t

bya two-temp erature mo del (Day et al. 1991), in contradiction to b oth the Einstein and

ROSAT sp ectra. Because the data are inconclusive, wehave included b oth temp eratures in

Table 1 for these two clusters, and we will consider them b oth in the statistical analysis.

Note that the velo city disp ersion presented here is measured only along our line of sight

to the cluster. We assume for the moment that anyvelo city anisotropy in these clusters is

small and therefore  is comparable to  (we will explore this assumption in more detail

In b oth equations the uncertainties quoted are the b o otstrapp ed 1- values. This t includes

the errors in the measurements, using a linear tting technique develop ed by Akritas, Ber-

shady & Bird (1995, in preparation). This algorithm, based on the ordinary least-squares

bisector rst de ned by Isob e et al. (1990), explicitly includes b oth intrinsic scatter in the

relation and uncorrelated measurement errors. The bisector metho d assumes that neither

variable is dep endent on the other, which is probably appropriate for the currentphysi-

cal situation. The velo city disp ersion and X-ray temp erature are b oth determined by the 8

depth of the gravitational p otential (and p erhaps other physical e ects), and are therefore

independent of each other.

This subtlety in the application of linear regression algorithms has b een previously noted

by astrophysicists for other applications, such as the Tully-Fisher e ect (see Isob e et al. 1990

for a detailed discussion), but not yet applied to the problem of X-ray and optical correlations.

The use of an inappropriate or biased regression technique can have a signi cant e ect on

the co ecients of the linear t, as we demonstrate in Table 3. To simplify this discussion,

in Table 3 we present the following:

 the published linear regressions given in ES91 and LB93

 the linear regressions determined from an ordinary least squares t, without measure-

ment errors

 the linear regressions from the bisector lines, with and without measurement errors

for the ES91 and LB93 datasets, as well as similar regressions for our limited cluster dataset.

The uncertainties in the linear co ecients are the 1- values, determined using a b o otstrap

metho d which is the preferred estimator for small datasets.

First of all, we see that the published linear regressions are recovered for b oth the ES91

and the LB93 datasets using the ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions, without errors.

For these ts, the velo city disp ersion is assumed to b e dependent on the temp erature, which

as discussed ab ove do es not seem likea physically well-motivated assumption. In addition,

simulations suggest that the OLS regressions are severely biased for such small sample sizes.

The bisector slop es for all three datasets are much steep er than the OLS slop es, varying

from 0.61 for our limited cluster dataset and the Einstein data to 0.87 for the LB93 dataset.

The regression for our limited cluster dataset is marginally consistent with the slop e of 0.5 9

predicted by the virial theorem. For the ES91 and LB93 datasets, the tted slop es are at

least 3 away from the canonical value of 0.5.

Given the large disp ersions b etween the individual linear regressions, as well as the

co ecients of the regressions for the three datasets, how signi cant is this di erence? To

estimate the signi cance of the observed deviation, we utilize a Monte Carlo computer rou-

tine. This co de simulates 22 cluster temp eratures b etween 2.0 and 10.0 keV and generates

velo city disp ersions using the virial relation and a value of 1. It then includes a velo city

term for the intrinsic scatter in the relationship (which is generated bycho osing a velo city

1

p erturbation from a uniform distribution of width 150 km s )aswell as measurement er-

rors in b oth velo city and temp erature (these are mo delled as Gaussians; the disp ersion in

1

velo cities is 150 km s and in temp erature is 0.5 keV). For 1000 simulations, only 40 of the

random datasets had measured bisector slop es greater than 0.61, the lowest value obtained

for the limited cluster dataset. The average value for the 1000 runs was 0.55 0:03. The

highest value of the slop e obtained for any of the simulated datasets is 0.64, which is com-

parable to the value obtained for the ES91 dataset but still strongly inconsistent with the

LB93 regression and the limited cluster dataset (with the high temp eratures for A1736 and

A3558).

These simulations suggest that while the deviation b etween the observed correlation b e-

tween velo city disp ersion and temp erature and that predicted by the virial theorem is small,

it is signi cant. Clearly larger individual cluster datasets, higher-quality X-ray sp ectra, and

a larger dataset of clusters will b e vital to improving our understanding of this fundamental

correlation.

The deviation of the  T relationship from that predicted by the equilibrium mo del

r

describ ed in Section 1 implies that is a function of the depth of the gravitational p otential,

as estimated by either the temp erature or the velo city disp ersion. In this case, de ning an 10

average (unweighted) value of for a cluster sample whichcovers a wide range of physical

spec

parameters yields a quantity which is p o orly de ned. The dep endence of on temp erature

and/or velo city disp ersion is no doubt partially resp onsible for the high scatter ab out the

 T relation, which remains even after elimination of the e ects of substructure from the

r

optical dataset.

Wehave seen in Section 2 that consideration of morphology and substructure signi -

cantly reduces the scatter in the values of for the individual clusters. Examination of

spec

Table 3 reveals that the same e ect do es not hold true for the determination of the  T

r

correlation. Inclusion of the substructure correction actually raises the scatter in the param-

eters of the t slightly, although it remains comparable to the values obtained by b oth ES91

and LB93. It is clear that although substructure in uences the scatter in the relationship,

other physical e ects must also b e signi cant (see also Gerbal et al. 1994).

Previous authors have claimed that their data was consistent with the canonical virial

0:5

theorem dep endence of velo city disp ersion on temp erature,  / T (ES91, LB93). We

r

have seen that this \consistency" is due to the inaccurate use of the least squares linear

regression, and that none of the three datasets are consistent with the canonical prediction.

Correction for substructure has very little e ect on the slop e of the  T correlation. The

r

scatter to high velo city disp ersions implied by the \steep er than virial" relation has b een

noted by all previous studies and generally attributed to velo city substructure. However, we

demonstrate that correction for substructure has little e ect on the correlation.

4 Mechanisms for Explaining the Discrepancy

The virial theorem prediction of the relationship b etween galaxy velo city disp ersion and

gas temp erature is based on three assumptions: that the galaxy orbits are isotropic, that the

gas and the galaxies o ccupy the same p otential well, and that gravity is the only source of 11

energy for either the gas or the galaxies. Any pro cess whichmay contribute to the deviation

of the slop e from the virial value must op erate to a di erent degree in hot, high- clusters

v

than in co oler, low- systems, to skew the relationship in the observed fashion (although

v

the e ect need not b e large). Mechanisms whichhave b een prop osed include anisotropyin

the distribution of galaxy orbits, incomplete thermalization of the gas, pressure supp ort of

the ICM from magnetic elds, biasing and protogalactic winds.

4.1 Anisotropy and Magnetic Pressure Supp ort

The anisotropy parameter A is not well-determined for more than one or two clusters.

2 2

Recall that A =1 = .For radial orbits, with  > ,A<0 and is increased (relative

r t

r t

to the value determined by pro le tting; see eqn. 3). For circularized orbits,  <,

r t

A>0 and is decreased. To repro duce the observed trend in the  T relation, we

r

estimate that hot clusters require A 0:1 (slightly radial orbits), and co ol clusters require

A  0:6 (mo derately circular orbits). Such an extreme variation in galaxy anisotropy is not

predicted byany current theory of cluster formation. Kau mann & White (1993) do nd

some evidence for a dep endence of formation history on mass, but this variation is negligible

13 15

over the range of masses included in the limited cluster sample (5  10 1  10 M ;S.

White, 1994, private communication).

In most observations, the temp erature pro le of the ICM is at out to the radius where

the background dominates the cluster sp ectrum (Mushotzky 1994). Nonetheless, simulations

by Evrard (1990) suggest that the cluster gas will not b e completely thermalized after only

one crossing time. This e ect is evident in more detailed calculations by Metzler & Evrard

(1995, in preparation), who nd that the degree of thermalization is not systematically

dep endent on temp erature. Incomplete thermalization clearly a ects the distribution of

temp eratures measured for the limited cluster sample, but do es not a ect the slop e of the

 T relationship in the required direction.

r 12

In an attempt to resolve the discrepancy b etween cluster masses determined by grav-

itational lensing and those determined from X-rays (Miralda-Escude & Babul 1994), Lo eb

& Mao (1994) prop ose magnetic pressure supp ort of the intracluster medium, at least in

the cores of co oling ows. To b e dynamically signi cant, tangled magnetic elds must con-

tribute a similar amount of p otential energy to the ICM as the gravitational p otential. The

required eld strength (on the order of 50 G) is large, but Lo eb & Mao argue that such

elds may b e generated within co oling ows, where gas and magnetic eld lines are con ned

and compressed.

Comparison of the limited cluster sample with Table 1 of Edge, Stewart&Fabian

1992 reveals that the ma jority of the limited cluster sample p ossesses co oling ows (as

determined from depro jection analysis) and therefore may b ene t from magnetic pressure

supp ort. Rememb er, however, that the Lo eb & Mao (1994) analysis is restricted to the inner

1

120h kp c of A2218 (inside the radius of the co oling ow), whereas our temp eratures and

velo city disp ersions are determined for the entire cluster (again assuming that the cluster

ICM temp erature pro les are at outside the co oling radius, as ASCA data suggest). It

is unclear whether the variation in deriving from magnetic pressure supp ort would b e

detected in our analysis of the X-ray and optical data.

4.2 Protogalactic Winds

Protogalactic winds provide an additional source of heating of the ICM. Yahil & Os-

triker (1973), Larson & Dinerstein (1975) and White (1991) discuss ram pressure stripping

and protogalactic winds as mechanisms for the metal enrichment of the ICM. In the winds

scenario, the sp eci c energy of the ICM is a ected by the initial collapse of the cluster, the

relative motions of galaxies in the cluster, and winds from sup ernova explosions during the

formation of elliptical galaxies at early times. Of these three physical pro cesses, White (1991)

demonstrates that only protogalactic winds can b o ost the energy of the gas ab ove the value 13

determined through the virial theorem. In addition he shows that the energy contribution

due to winds will b e larger in co ol clusters than in hot ones.

Using White's Equation 2, we generated a distribution of temp eratures for velo city

1

disp ersions ranging from 350-1200 km sec (taking his values for the fraction of intracluster

gas coming from winds (w =0:5) and the typical wind velo city in terms of the galactic

velo city disp ersion (f = 3)). Fitting these simulated data, we nd that the protogalactic

w

winds mo del predicts a correlation b etween the velo city disp ersion and the temp erature of

a cluster:

0:68

 / T (8)

r

0:62

This dep ends slightly on the choice of w and f ; for f =2 we nd that  / T . The

w w r

protogalactic wind mo del repro duces nearly exactly the dep endence of velo city disp ersion on

ICM temp erature that we nd in the limited cluster sample (and which is consistent with

the slop es found by earlier studies).

4.3 Winds and Biasing

Another e ect whichmay pro duce the steepness of the  T relationship is a velo city

r

bias b etween cluster galaxies and the background dark matter, which is driven by dynamical

0:5

friction (Carlb erg 1994; Carlb erg & Dubinski 1991). Simple virial analysis predicts  / T

r

if the collisionless comp onent has exp erienced no co oling or heating. If  and  refer

DM gal

to the background dark matter and galaxy velo city disp ersions resp ectively, and assuming

the virial equilibrium holds for the dark matter, then we can write

If the ratio of velo city disp ersions is temp erature{dep endent, then this will mo dify the ob-

fric

clusters will have a higher velo city disp ersion, and thus a longer characteristic timescale for

dynamical friction to b e signi cant. This translates into a temp erature{dep endentvelo city

bias.

Simulations provide an ideal mechanism to test these ideas. Metzler & Evrard (1995)

have conducted an ensemble of N{b o dy + hydro dynamic simulations of the formation and

evolution of individual clusters, explicitly including galaxies and galactic winds. These sim-

ulated clusters are compared to a ensemble drawn from the same initial conditions | but

without galaxies and winds | to isolate the e ects of winds on clusters. The metho d is

explained in Metzler & Evrard (1994).

Figure 2 shows velo city disp ersion { temp erature data drawn from their mo dels. A

\virial radius" is identi ed for each simulated cluster as the radius with a mean interior 15

overdensity of 170. The temp eratures used are mass{averaged over all gas within the virial

radius; the velo city disp ersions are averages drawn from the full 3D velo city information for

all dark matter or galaxies within r . A solid line corresp onding to = 1 has also b een

vir spec

placed on the plots.

Comparing the dark matter velo city disp ersion to the average interior temp erature shows

that in the simple two{ uid mo dels, the simulated clusters are well{ t by the virial relation

0:5

 / T . This is sensible; there is no physics in these mo dels b eyond that used to derive

the exp ected relation. Note that the values of are consistently larger than one; this is

spec

a signature of the incomplete gas thermalization previously seen in other studies. It is not

clear whether this is physical or numerical in origin; a series of runs with di erent resolution

would clarify this.

The mo dels including galaxies and winds show di erent b ehavior. Here, the inclusion

of energetic winds, plus dynamical friction of the galaxy comp onent, provide the necessary

physics to deviate from the virial  T relation. For the dark matter, the temp erature dep en-

dence is steep er than 0.5, a result of the inclusion of energetic winds. When galaxies are used

0:65

to calculate the velo city disp ersion, however, the relation steep ens to  / T , comparable

to our observed result. The simulations thus provide evidence for a temp erature{dep endent

0:1

velo city bias,  = / T . Both this bias and the increase in gas temp eratures due to

gal DM

energetic winds are resp onsible for the nal correlation.

It should b e noted, of course, that the agreementbetween the simulated ensemble and

our real clusters is to some degree fortuitous. The wind mo del used in the simulations of

Metzler & Evrard is intentionally of much greater wind luminosity than exp ected for real

early{typ e galaxies, and the dynamical accuracy of mo delling galaxies by heavy collisionless

particles in the cluster p otential is unclear (Frenk et al. 1995). Nonetheless, this corrob orates

the theoretical exp ectation that b oth energetic winds and velo city bias can result in the 16

observed  T relation.

5 Discussion

Although Lubin & Bahcall (1993) found that the correlation b etween cluster velo city

disp ersion and temp erature was somewhat steep er than that predicted by the virial theorem,

the scatter in their dataset was to o broad for them to rule out consistency with the hydro-

0:610:13

static isothermal mo del. We show that for our limited dataset,  / T (GINGA:

r

0:76

 / T ), slightly but signi cantly (at 96% con dence) steep er than that predicted by the

r

virial theorem. For the ES91 and LB93 datasets, this discrepancy is signi cantatthe>99%

level. It seems improbable that this is an artifact of the substructure correction algorithm.

The mixture mo delling technique used to remove substructure from the cluster datasets do es

not preferentially raise the velo city disp ersion of high- clusters and lower that in low-

r r

systems, as examination of Table 1 reveals.

The protogalactic winds mo del of White (1991), in addition to p ossible velo city bias

due to dynamical friction acting on the cluster galaxies, quantitatively repro duces the ob-

served variation in the  T relationship. Preliminary measurements of cluster emission

r

line diagnostics from ASCA show metal abundances typical of Typ e I I sup ernovae, also

supp orting the protogalactic winds mo del (Mushotzky 1994). (Contrary to the mo del, how-

ever, there is as yet no conclusive evidence that low-temp erature clusters have higher global

abundances than hot systems.) It seems plausible that other physical mechanisms, suchas

velo city anisotropy, incomplete thermalization of the gas and/or the galaxies, and magnetic

pressure supp ort in cluster cores (which are all likely to b e present in some unknown and

variable degree in clusters) are resp onsible for the large scatter ab out the b est- t  T

r

line. This scatter is apparenteven after morphology and substructure are considered in the

determination of cluster parameters. 17

Finally we can relate our revised determination of to the long-standing -discrepancy.

spec

Early studies of cluster X-ray sp ectroscopy and imaging revealed an imp ortant inconsistency:

h i =1:2 (Mushotzky 1984) but h i =0:7 (Jones & Forman 1984). Wehave seen that

spec fit

the corrections for morphology and substructure bring h i down to 0.9, only marginally

spec

consistent with h i (but con rming the earlier results of ES91). For many individual clus-

fit

ters, h i and h i are completely di erent. Perseus (A426) is the most obvious example,

spec fit

with =1:53 and =0:57. So what is the current status of the -discrepancy?

spec fit

First of all, we can compare current data on the distribution of gas and galaxies in

clusters. Schomb ert (1988) summarizes the data on cluster density pro les determined from

avariety of tracer particles:

gas

As Gerbal et al. (1994) p oint out in their theoretical analysis of the -discrepancy,

however, in order to test the consistency of the gas and galaxy scale lengths one must

simultaneously observe their radial dep endence independently, not tting them together as

Jones & Forman did. In the next stage of this pro ject (Bird & Mushotzky 1995), we present

non-parametric determinations of the galaxy and gas density pro les based on the MAPEL

package (Merritt & Tremblay 1994). MAPEL, a constrained maximum likeliho o d algorithm,

allows us to determine the b est- t mo del to the surface density pro les without assuming 18

a King-mo del (or other isothermal) t to the data (Merritt & Tremblay 1994). This is

imp ortant b ecause there is growing evidence from gravitational lensing exp eriments and

computer simulations that the King mo del t is not a go o d description of the gravitational

p otential of a (Navarro, Frenk & White 1994; see also Beers & Tonry 1986).

These pro les will allow us to test on a cluster-by-cluster basis whether the galaxy and gas

pro les di er { a comparison which in the past has only b een p ossible in a statistical sense

(cf. Bahcall & Lubin 1994).

Note also that in the time since White (1991) app eared, ROSAT PSPC and ASCA

surface density pro les of co ol clusters have b ecome publicly available. These clusters will

b e included in the continuation of this pro ject (velo city data are published in Beers et al.

1994). The protogalactic winds mo del predicts that co ol clusters will have a larger scale

length of gas density than hot clusters (again, b ecause the relative energy contribution of

winds to the ICM is greater in co ol systems). Use of the expanded dataset for these clusters

will allow us to directly test this prediction and to prob e the e ects of protogalactic winds

on .
