An important result from self-similar models that describe the process of galaxy cluster formation is the simple scaling relation $Y_{rm SZE}D_{rm A}^{2}/C_{rm XSZE}Y_{rm X}= C$. In this ratio, $Y_{rm SZE}$ is the integrated Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect flux of a cluster, its x-ray counterpart is $Y_{rm X}$, $C_{rm XSZE}$ and $C$ are constants and $D_{rm A}$ is the angular diameter distance to the cluster. In this paper, we consider the cosmic distance duality relation validity jointly with type Ia supernovae observations plus $61$ $Y_{rm SZE}D_{rm A}^{2}/C_{rm XSZE}Y_{rm X}$ measurements as reported by the Planck Collaboration to explore if this relation is constant in the redshift range considered ($z<0.5$). No one specific cosmological model is used. As basic result, although the data sets are compatible with no redshift evolution within 2$sigma$ c.l., a Bayesian analysis indicates that other $C(z)$ functions analyzed in this work cannot be discarded. It is worth to stress that the observational determination of an universal $C(z)$ function turns the $Y_{rm SZE}D_{rm A}^{2}/C_{rm XSZE}Y_{rm X}$ ratio in an useful cosmological tool to determine cosmological parameters.

We characterize the X-ray luminosity--temperature ($L_{rm X}-T$) relation using a sample of 353 clusters and groups of galaxies with temperatures in excess of 1 keV, spanning the redshift range $0.1 < z < 0.6$, the largest ever assembled for this pur pose. All systems are part of the ${it XMM-Newton}$ Cluster Survey (XCS), and have also been independently identified in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data using the redMaPPer algorithm. We allow for redshift evolution of the normalisation and intrinsic scatter of the $L_{rm X}-T$ relation, as well as, for the first time, the possibility of a temperature-dependent change-point in the exponent of such relation. However, we do not find strong statistical support for deviations from the usual modelling of the $L_{rm X}-T$ relation as a single power-law, where the normalisation evolves self-similarly and the scatter remains constant with time. Nevertheless, assuming {it a priori} the existence of the type of deviations considered, then faster evolution than the self-similar expectation for the normalisation of the $L_{rm X}-T$ relation is favoured, as well as a decrease with redshift in the scatter about the $L_{rm X}-T$ relation. Further, the preferred location for a change-point is then close to 2 keV, possibly marking the transition between the group and cluster regimes. Our results also indicate an increase in the power-law exponent of the $L_{rm X}-T$ relation when moving from the group to the cluster regime, and faster evolution in the former with respect to the later, driving the temperature-dependent change-point towards higher values with redshift.

We investigate the form and evolution of the X-ray luminosity-temperature (LT) relation of a sample of 114 galaxy clusters observed with Chandra at 0.1<z<1.3. The clusters were divided into subsamples based on their X-ray morphology or whether they h ost strong cool cores. We find that when the core regions are excluded, the most relaxed clusters (or those with the strongest cool cores) follow an LT relation with a slope that agrees well with simple self-similar expectations. This is supported by an analysis of the gas density profiles of the systems, which shows self-similar behaviour of the gas profiles of the relaxed clusters outside the core regions. By comparing our data with clusters in the REXCESS sample, which extends to lower masses, we find evidence that the self-similar behaviour of even the most relaxed clusters breaks at around 3.5keV. By contrast, the LT slopes of the subsamples of unrelaxed systems (or those without strong cool cores) are significantly steeper than the self-similar model, with lower mass systems appearing less luminous and higher mass systems appearing more luminous than the self-similar relation. We argue that these results are consistent with a model of non-gravitational energy input in clusters that combines central heating with entropy enhancements from merger shocks. Such enhancements could extend the impact of central energy input to larger radii in unrelaxed clusters, as suggested by our data. We also examine the evolution of the LT relation, and find that while the data appear inconsistent with simple self-similar evolution, the differences can be plausibly explained by selection bias, and thus we find no reason to rule out self-similar evolution. We show that the fraction of cool core clusters in our (non-representative) sample decreases at z>0.5 and discuss the effect of this on measurements of the evolution in the LT relation.

We use numerical simulations to investigate, for the first time, the joint effect of feedback from supernovae (SNe) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) on the evolution of galaxy cluster X-ray scaling relations. Our simulations are drawn from the Millen nium Gas Project and are some of the largest hydrodynamical N-body simulations ever carried out. Feedback is implemented using a hybrid scheme, where the energy input into intracluster gas by SNe and AGN is taken from a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. This ensures that the source of feedback is a population of galaxies that closely resembles that found in the real universe. We show that our feedback model is capable of reproducing observed local X-ray scaling laws, at least for non-cool core clusters, but that almost identical results can be obtained with a simplistic preheating model. However, we demonstrate that the two models predict opposing evolutionary behaviour. We have examined whether the evolution predicted by our feedback model is compatible with observations of high-redshift clusters. Broadly speaking, we find that the data seems to favour the feedback model for z<0.5, and the preheating model at higher redshift. However, a statistically meaningful comparison with observations is impossible, because the large samples of high-redshift clusters currently available are prone to strong selection biases. As the observational picture becomes clearer in the near future, it should be possible to place tight constraints on the evolution of the scaling laws, providing us with an invaluable probe of the physical processes operating in galaxy clusters.

We study the equivalence problem of classifying second order ordinary differential equations $y_{xx}=J(x,y,y_{x})$ modulo fibre-preserving point transformations $xlongmapsto varphi(x)$, $ylongmapsto psi(x,y)$ by using Mosers method of normal forms. W e first compute a basis of the Lie algebra ${frak{g}}_{{{y_{xx}=0}}}$ of fibre-preserving symmetries of $y_{xx}=0$. In the formal theory of Mosers method, this Lie algebra is used to give an explicit description of the set of normal forms $mathcal{N}$, and we show that the set is an ideal in the space of formal power series. We then show the existence of the normal forms by studying flows of suitable vector fields with appropriate corrections by the Cauchy-Kovalevskaya theorem. As an application, we show how normal forms can be used to prove that the identical vanishing of Hsu-Kamran primary invariants directly imply that the second order differential equation is fibre-preserving point equivalent to $y_{xx}=0$.
We analyse cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters to study the X-ray scaling relations between total masses and observable quantities such as X-ray luminosity, gas mass, X-ray temperature, and $Y_{X}$. Three sets of simulations ar e performed with an improved version of the smoothed particle hydrodynamics GADGET-3 code. These consider the following: non-radiative gas, star formation and stellar feedback, and the addition of feedback by active galactic nuclei (AGN). We select clusters with $M_{500} > 10^{14} M_{odot} E(z)^{-1}$, mimicking the typical selection of Sunyaev-Zeldovich samples. This permits to have a mass range large enough to enable robust fitting of the relations even at $z sim 2$. The results of the analysis show a general agreement with observations. The values of the slope of the mass-gas mass and mass-temperature relations at $z=2$ are 10 per cent lower with respect to $z=0$ due to the applied mass selection, in the former case, and to the effect of early merger in the latter. We investigate the impact of the slope variation on the study of the evolution of the normalization. We conclude that cosmological studies through scaling relations should be limited to the redshift range $z=0-1$, where we find that the slope, the scatter, and the covariance matrix of the relations are stable. The scaling between mass and $Y_X$ is confirmed to be the most robust relation, being almost independent of the gas physics. At higher redshifts, the scaling relations are sensitive to the inclusion of AGNs which influences low-mass systems. The detailed study of these objects will be crucial to evaluate the AGN effect on the ICM.
