Cosmic Ray Protons and Magnetic Fields in Clusters of Galaxies and their Cosmological Consequences

The masses of clusters of galaxies estimated by gravitational lensing exceed in many cases the mass estimates based on hydrostatic equilibrium. This may suggest the existence of nonthermal pressure. We ask if radio galaxies can heat and support the cluster gas with injected cosmic ray protons and magnetic field densities, which are permitted by Faraday rotation and gamma ray observations of clusters of galaxies. We conclude that they are powerful enough to do this within a cluster radius of roughly 1 Mpc. If present, nonthermal pressures could lead to a revised estimate of the ratio of baryonic mass to total mass, and the apparent baryonic overdensity in clusters would disappear. In consequence, $Omega_{rm cold}$, the clumping part of the cosmological density $Omega_{o}$, would be larger than $0.4,h_{50}^{-1/2}$.
