The significance of hierarchical clustering on the density profile and mass-temperature scaling relation for galaxy clusters is examined using hydrodynamic N-body simulations. Clusters formed hierarchically are compared with clusters formed with the initial density fluctuations on sub-cluster scales removed via smoothing. The universal profile, as described by Navarro, Frenk, and White, is not a by-product of hierarchical clustering. It is found to fit the mean profiles of clusters formed both hierarchically and otherwise. The Hernquist profile is also found to fit the data well. The characteristic radius, r_s, moves outward from 0.1 R_200 to 0.2 R_200 when the initial substructure is eliminated. Interior to r_s, rho_DM is proportional to r^-1.8, regardless of initial smoothing. Exterior to this radius, the profile is marginally shallower in the non-hierarchical case, with rho_DM proportional to r^-2.4 compared with rho_DM proportional to r^-2.7. The mass-temperature scaling relation maintains the form T proportional to M^2/3, regardless of cluster formation method. The normalisation varies at the 20% level, which is at the level of the intrinsic scatter, with the non-hierarchical simulations producing the cooler clusters.

The baryon fraction of galaxy clusters in numerical simulations is found to be dependant on the cluster formation method. In all cases, the gas is anti-biased compared with the dark matter. However, clusters formed hierarchically are found to be more
depleted in baryons than clusters formed non-hierarchically. There is a depletion of 10 to 15% for hierarchically formed clusters while the depletion is less than 10% for those clusters formed non-hierarchically. This difference is dependent on the mass of the clusters. The mean baryon enrichment profile for the hierarchically formed clusters shows an appreciable baryon enhancement around the virial radius not seen in the clusters formed without substructure. If this phenomenon applies to real clusters, it implies that determinations of the baryon fractions in clusters of galaxies require data extending beyond the virial radius of the clusters in order to achieve an unbiased value.
Galaxy clusters are excellent probes to study the effect of environment on galaxy formation and evolution. Along with high-quality observational data, accurate cosmological simulations are required to improve our understanding of galaxy evolution in
these systems. In this work, we compare state-of-the-art observational data of massive galaxy clusters ($>10^{14} textrm{M}_{odot}$) at different redshifts ($0<z<1.5$) with predictions from the Hydrangea suite of cosmological hydrodynamic simulations of 24 massive galaxy clusters ($>10^{14} textrm{M}_{odot}$ at $z=0$). We compare three fundamental observables of galaxy clusters: the total stellar mass to halo mass ratio, the stellar mass function (SMF), and the radial mass density profile of the cluster galaxies. In the first two of these, the simulations agree well with the observations, albeit with a slightly too high abundance of $M_star lesssim 10^{10} textrm{M}_{odot}$ galaxies at $z gtrsim 1$. The NFW concentrations of cluster galaxies increase with redshift, in contrast to the decreasing dark matter halo concentrations. This previously observed behaviour is therefore due to a qualitatively different assembly of the smooth DM halo compared to the satellite population. Quantitatively, we however find a discrepancy in that the simulations predict higher stellar concentrations than observed at lower redshifts ($z<0.3$), by a factor of $approx$2. This may be due to selection bias in the simulations, or stem from shortcomings in the build-up and stripping of their inner satellite halo.
The lensing signal around galaxy clusters can, in principle, be used to test detailed predictions for their average mass profile from numerical simulations. However, the intrinsic shape of the profiles can be smeared out when a sample that spans a wi
de range of cluster masses is averaged in physical length units. This effect especially conceals rapid changes in gradient such as the steep drop associated with the splashback radius, a sharp edge corresponding to the outermost caustic in accreting halos. We optimize the extraction of such local features by scaling individual halo profiles to a number of spherical overdensity radii, and apply this method to 16 X-ray-selected high-mass clusters targeted in the Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble. By forward-modeling the weak- and strong-lensing data presented by Umetsu et al., we show that, regardless of the scaling overdensity, the projected ensemble density profile is remarkably well described by an NFW or Einasto profile out to $R sim 2.5h^{-1}$Mpc, beyond which the profiles flatten. We constrain the NFW concentration to $c_{200c} = 3.66 pm 0.11$ at $M_{200c} simeq 1.0 times 10^{15}h^{-1}M_odot$, consistent with and improved from previous work that used conventionally stacked lensing profiles, and in excellent agreement with theoretical expectations. Assuming the profile form of Diemer & Kravtsov and generic priors calibrated from numerical simulations, we place a lower limit on the splashback radius of the cluster halos, if it exists, of $R_{sp}/r_{200m} > 0.89$ ($R_{sp} > 1.83h^{-1}$Mpc) at 68% confidence. The corresponding density feature is most pronounced when the cluster profiles are scaled by $r_{200m}$, and smeared out when scaled to higher overdensities.
In galaxy clusters, the relations between observables in X-ray and millimeter wave bands and the total mass have normalizations, slopes and redshift evolutions that are simple to estimate in a self-similar scenario. We study these scaling relations a
nd show that they can be efficiently expressed, in a more coherent picture, by fixing the normalizations and slopes to the self-similar predictions, and advocating, as responsible of the observed deviations, only three physical mass-dependent quantities: the gas clumpiness $C$, the gas mass fraction $f_g$ and the logarithmic slope of the thermal pressure profile $beta_P$. We use samples of the observed gas masses, temperature, luminosities, and Compton parameters in local clusters to constrain normalization and mass dependence of these 3 physical quantities, and measure: $C^{0.5} f_g = 0.110 (pm 0.002 pm 0.002) left( E_z M / 5 times 10^{14} M_{odot} right)^{0.198 (pm 0.025 pm 0.04)}$ and $beta_P = -d ln P/d ln r = 3.14 (pm 0.04 pm 0.02) left( E_z M / 5 times 10^{14} M_{odot} right)^{0.071 (pm 0.012 pm 0.004)}$, where both a statistical and systematic error (the latter mainly due to the cross-calibration uncertainties affecting the cxo and xmm results used in the present analysis) are quoted. The degeneracy between $C$ and $f_g$ is broken by using the estimates of the Compton parameters. Together with the self-similar predictions, these estimates on $C$, $f_g$ and $beta_P$ define an inter-correlated internally-consistent set of scaling relations that reproduces the mass estimates with the lowest residuals.
We fit a functional form for a universal ICM entropy profile to the scaled entropy profiles of a catalogue of X-ray galaxy cluster outskirts results, which are all relaxed cool core clusters at redshift below 0.25. We also investigate the functional
form suggested by Lapi et al. and Cavaliere et al. for the behaviour of the entropy profile in the outskirts and find it to fit the data well outside 0.3r200 . We highlight the discrepancy in the entropy profile behaviour in the outskirts between observations and the numerical simulations of Burns et al., and show that the entropy profile flattening due to gas clumping calculated by Nagai & Lau is insufficient to match observations, suggesting that gas clumping alone cannot be responsible for all of the entropy profile flattening in the cluster outskirts. The entropy profiles found with Suzaku are found to be consistent with ROSAT, XMM-Newton and Planck results.
