Mismatch between X-Ray and Emission-weighted Temperatures in Galaxy Clusters: Cosmological Implications
The thermal properties of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters are usually compared to observations by relying on the emission-weighted temperature Tew instead of on the spectroscopic X-ray temperature Tspec, which is obtained by actual observational data. In a recent paper, Mazzotta et al. show that if the intracluster medium is …
