Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters are still challenged to produce a model for the intracluster medium that matches all aspects of current X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich observations. To facilitate such comparisons with future simulations and to enable realistic cluster population studies for modeling e.g., non-thermal emission processes, we construct a phenomenological model for the intracluster medium that is based on a representative sample of observed X-ray clusters. We create a mock galaxy cluster catalog based on the large collisionless N-body simulation MultiDark, by assigning our gas density model to each dark matter cluster halo. Our clusters are classified as cool-core and non cool-core according to a dynamical disturbance parameter. We demonstrate that our gas model matches the various observed Sunyaev-Zeldovich and X-ray scaling relations as well as the X-ray luminosity function, thus enabling to build a reliable mock catalog for present surveys and forecasts for future experiments. In a companion paper, we apply our catalogs to calculate non-thermal radio and gamma-ray emission of galaxy clusters. We make our cosmologically complete multi-frequency mock catalogs for the (non-)thermal cluster emission at different redshifts publicly and freely available online through the MultiDark database (www.multidark.org).
Recent first detections of the cross-correlation of the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) signal in Planck cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature maps with gravitational lensing maps inferred from the Planck CMB data and the CFHTLenS galaxy surv
We present results from a joint X-ray/Sunyaev-Zeldovich modeling of the intra-cluster gas using XMM-Newton and APEX-SZ imaging data. The goal is to study the physical properties of the intra-cluster gas with a non-parametric de-projection method that
We perform a joint analysis of X-ray and Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ) effect data using an analytic model that describes the gas properties of galaxy clusters. The joint analysis allows the measurement of the cluster gas mass fraction profile and Hubble co
We use numerical simulations to predict the soft X-ray ([0.4-0.6] keV) and Sunyaev-Zeldovich signal (at 150 GHz) from the large scale structure in the Universe and then compute 2-point statistics to study the spatial distribution and time evolution o
Cosmography provides a direct method to map the expansion history of the Universe in a model-independent way. Recently, different kinds of observations have been used in cosmographic analyses, such as SNe Ia and gamma ray bursts measurements, weak an
