Dark Matter in Clusters of Galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 August 2017
Extract
An appropriate subtitle for this talk might be “Newton meets Einstein.” For many decades, the prime tool for studying the amount and distribution of matter in galaxy clusters was decidedly Newtonian, involving at first the measurements of the dynamics of the galaxies themselves and, for the past 15 years or so, the imputed dynamics of the hot, X-ray emitting intra-cluster gas. Einstein enters more recently with the introduction of gravitational lensing as a tool for studying cluster mass distributions. Rapid progress is being made in each of these areas, and there are now attempts to bring them together to give a consistent and more accurate picture of clusters.
