Abstract: | We perform a statistical analysis of the properties of 170 rich clusters of galaxies. We confirm the existence of correlations
between the X-ray luminosity and temperature of the cluster intergalactic medium (IGM) and between the velocity dispersion
of the galaxies and the X-ray luminosity of the IGM. In addition, we have found a new anti-correlation between the optical
luminosity in Hα and the X-ray luminosity of the cluster IGM: log $
\left( {\frac{{L_{H\alpha } }}
{{L_ \odot }}} \right) = a - b\log \left( {\frac{{L_x }}
{{L_ \odot }}} \right)
$
\left( {\frac{{L_{H\alpha } }}
{{L_ \odot }}} \right) = a - b\log \left( {\frac{{L_x }}
{{L_ \odot }}} \right)
. Clusters form sequences with different values of a but similar values of b. |
