We investigate the relationship between soft xray luminosity and mass for low redshift clusters of galaxies by comparing observed number counts to expectations of $Lambda$CDM cosmologies. We use a three-parameter model for the conditional probability of luminosity given mass and epoch, described as a log-normal distribution of fixed width centered on a power-law scaling relation, $L spropto M^prhoc^s(z)$. We use an ensemble of simulated clusters to argue that the observed, intrinsic variance in the temperature--luminosity relation is directly indicative of mass--luminosity variance, and derive $sigm se 0.43 pm 0.06$ from HIFLUGCS data. Adding this to the likelihood analysis results in best-fit estimates $p se 1.59 pm 0.05$, $lnlf se 1.34 pm 0.09$, and $sigm se 0.37 pm 0.05$ for self-similar redshift evolution in a concordance ($Omega_m se 0.3$, $Omega_Lambda se 0.7$, $sigma_8 se0.9$) universe. We show that the present-epoch intercept is very sensitive to power spectrum normalization, $lnlf spropto sigate^{-4}$, and the slope is weakly sensitive to the matter density, $p spropto Omega_m^{1/2}$. The intercept derived here is dimmer by a factor 2, and slope slightly steeper, than the L-M relation published using hydrostatic mass estimates of the HIFLUGCS sample. We show that this discrepancy is largely due to Malmquist bias of the xray flux-limited sample. In light of new WMAP constraints, we discuss the interplay between parameters and sources of systematic error, and offer a compromise model with $Omega_m se 0.24$, $sigma_8 se 0.85$, and somewhat lower scatter $sigm se 0.25$, in which hydrostatic mass estimates remain accurate to $ssim 15%$. We stress the need for independent calibration of the L-M relation via weak gravitational lensing.

We present the K-band luminosity-halo mass relation, $L_{K,500}-M_{500,WL}$, for a subsample of 20 of the 100 brightest clusters in the XXL Survey observed with WIRCam at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT). For the first time, we have measured this relation via weak-lensing analysis down to $M_{500,WL} =3.5 times 10^{13},M_odot$. This allows us to investigate whether the slope of the $L_K-M$ relation is different for groups and clusters, as seen in other works. The clusters in our sample span a wide range in mass, $M_{500,WL} =0.35-12.10 times 10^{14},M_odot$, at $0<z<0.6$. The K-band luminosity scales as $log_{10}(L_{K,500}/10^{12}L_odot) propto beta log_{10}(M_{500,WL}/10^{14}M_odot)$ with $beta = 0.85^{+0.35}_{-0.27}$ and an intrinsic scatter of $sigma_{lnL_K|M} =0.37^{+0.19}_{-0.17}$. Combining our sample with some clusters in the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS) present in the literature, we obtain a slope of $1.05^{+0.16}_{-0.14}$ and an intrinsic scatter of $0.14^{+0.09}_{-0.07}$. The flattening in the $L_K-M$ seen in previous works is not seen here and might be a result of a bias in the mass measurement due to assumptions on the dynamical state of the systems. We also study the richness-mass relation and find that group-sized halos have more galaxies per unit halo mass than massive clusters. However, the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in low-mass systems contributes a greater fraction to the total cluster light than BCGs do in massive clusters; the luminosity gap between the two brightest galaxies is more prominent for group-sized halos. This result is a natural outcome of the hierarchical growth of structures, where massive galaxies form and gain mass within low-mass groups and are ultimately accreted into more massive clusters to become either part of the BCG or one of the brighter galaxies.

We present the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) catalog for SPectroscoic IDentification of eROSITA Sources (SPIDERS) DR14 cluster program value-added catalog. We list the 416 BCGs identified as part of this process, along with their stellar mass, st ar formation rates, and morphological properties. We identified the BCGs based on the available spectroscopic data from SPIDERS and photometric data from SDSS. We computed stellar masses and SFRs of the BCGs on the basis of SDSS, WISE, and GALEX photometry using spectral energy distribution fitting. Morphological properties for all BCGs were derived by Sersic profile fitting using the software package SIGMA in different optical bands (g,r,i). We combined this catalog with the BCGs of galaxy groups and clusters extracted from the deeper AEGIS, CDFS, COSMOS, XMM-CFHTLS, and XMM-XXL surveys to study the stellar mass - halo mass relation using the largest sample of X-ray groups and clusters known to date. This result suggests that the mass growth of the central galaxy is controlled by the hierarchical mass growth of the host halo. We find a strong correlation between the stellar mass of BCGs and the mass of their host halos. This relation shows no evolution since z $sim$ 0.65. We measure a mean scatter of 0.21 and 0.25 for the stellar mass of BCGs in a given halo mass at low ( $0.1<z < 0.3$ ) and high ( $0.3<z<0.65$ ) redshifts, respectively. We further demonstrate that the BCG mass is covariant with the richness of the host halos in the very X-ray luminous systems. We also find evidence that part of the scatter between X-ray luminosity and richness can be reduced by considering stellar mass as an additional variable.
We present the results of work involving a statistically complete sample of 34 galaxy clusters, in the redshift range 0.15$le$z$le$0.3 observed with $Chandra$. We investigate the luminosity-mass ($LM$) relation for the cluster sample, with the masses obtained via a full hydrostatic mass analysis. We utilise a method to fully account for selection biases when modeling the $LM$ relation, and find that the $LM$ relation is significantly different than the relation modelled when not account for selection effects. We find that the luminosity of our clusters is 2.2$pm$0.4 times higher (when accounting for selection effects) than the average for a given mass, its mass is 30% lower than the population average for a given luminosity. Equivalently, using the $LM$ relation measured from this sample without correcting for selection biases would lead to the underestimation by 40% of the average mass of a cluster with a given luminosity. Comparing the hydrostatic masses to mass estimates determined from the $Y_{X}$ parameter, we find that they are entirely consistent, irrespective of the dynamical state of the cluster.

We present the first X-ray Luminosity Function (XLF) for an optically-selected sample of 49 nearby poor clusters of galaxies and a sample of 67 Abell clusters with z < 0.15. We have extended the measured cluster XLF by more than a factor of 10 in X-r ay luminosity. Our poor cluster sample was drawn from an optical catalog of groups with 0.01<z<0.03 composed of Zwicky galaxies. The X-ray emission was measured from the ROSAT all-sky survey. About 45% of the poor clusters were detected with 0.5-2.0 keV luminosities from (1.7-65)x 10^{41} h^{-2} ergs/sec. These are among the X-ray brightest, optically-selected poor clusters in the northern hemisphere. For this sample, the poor cluster XLF was found to be smooth extrapolation of the rich cluster XLF. A new Hydro/N-body simulation of a Hot +Cold dark matter model with Omega_{total}=1, Omega_{ u}=0.2, and a baryon fraction of 7.5% was used to model and understand our observational selection effects. We found that the observed cluster Gas Mass Function was consistent with our model.
We present the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) for clusters of galaxies derived from the RASS1 Bright Sample. The sample, selected from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey in a region of 2.5 sr within the southern Galactic cap, contains 130 clusters with flux l imits in the range ~ 3-4 x 10^-12 ergs/cm^2/s in the 0.5-2.0 keV band. A maximum-likelihood fit with a Schechter function of the XLF over the entire range of luminosities (0.045 - 28. x 10^44 ergs/s), gives alpha = 1.52 +/- 0.11, L_* = 3.80 +0.70 -0.55 x 10^44 ergs/s, and A = 5.07 +/- 0.45 x 10^-7 Mpc^-3 (10^44 ergs/s)^(alpha-1). We investigate possible evolutionary effects within the sample, out to our redshift limit (z ~ 0.3), finding no evidence for evolution. Our results are in good agreement with other local estimates of the XLF, implying that this statistic for the local universe is now well determined. Comparison with XLFs for distant clusters (0.3 < z < 0.6), shows that no evolution is present for L_X < 10^{44} ergs/s. However, we detect differences at the 3 sigma level, between our local XLF and the distant one estimated by Henry et al. for the EMSS sample. This difference is still present when considering the EMSS sample revised by Nichol et al.
