A simulated τCDM cosmology cluster catalogue: the NFW profile and the temperature-mass scaling relations
Abstract
We have extracted over 400 clusters, covering more than two decades in mass, from three simulations of the τCDM cosmology. This represents the largest uniform catalogue of simulated clusters ever produced. The clusters exhibit a wide variety of density profiles. Only a minority are well-fitted in their outer regions by the widely used density profile of Navarro, Frenk & White (NFW), which is applicable to relaxed haloes. Others have steeper …
