The total mass of a galaxy cluster is one of its most fundamental properties. Together with
the redshift, the mass links observation and theory, allowing us to use the cluster population …

In recent years, observations of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect have had significant
cosmological implications and have begun to serve as a powerful and independent probe of …

Context. The hot plasma in a galaxy cluster is expected to be heated to high temperatures
through shocks and adiabatic compression. The thermodynamical properties of the gas …

Galaxy clusters are the endpoints of structure formation and are continuously growing
through the merging and accretion of smaller structures. Numerical simulations predict that a …

The Cluster HEritage project with XMM-Newton–Mass Assembly and Thermodynamics at
the Endpoint of structure formation (CHEX-MATE) is a three-mega-second Multi-Year …

As the largest virialized structures in the universe, galaxy clusters continue to grow and
accrete matter from the cosmic web. Due to the low gas density in the outskirts of clusters …

The mass profiles of massive dark matter halos are highly sensitive to the nature of dark
matter and potential modifications of the theory of gravity on large scales. The Λ cold dark …

X-ray observations show that galaxy clusters have a very large range of morphologies. The
most disturbed systems, which are good to study how clusters form and grow and to test …

Context. Turbulence introduced into the intracluster medium (ICM) through cluster-merger
events transfers energy to non-thermal components, and can trigger the formation of diffuse …

Galaxy clusters are thought to grow hierarchically through the continuous merging and
accretion of smaller structures across cosmic time. In the local universe, these phenomena …
