Low X-ray luminosity galaxy clusters. II. Optical properties and morphological content at 0.18 < z < 0.70. (2014)

Keywords : galaxies clusters: general - galaxies: fundamental parameters - galaxies: photometry

Abstract:This is the second of a series of papers on low X-ray luminosity galaxy clusters, in which we present the r', g' and i' photometry obtained with Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph IMAGE at Gemini North and South telescopes for seven systems in the redshift range of 0.18 to 0.70. Optical magnitudes, colours and morphological parameters, namely, concentration index, ellipticity and visual morphological classification, are also given. At lower redshifts, the presence of a well-defined red cluster sequence extending by more than 4mag showed that these intermediate-mass clusters had reached a relaxed stage. This was confirmed by the small fraction of blue galaxy members observed in the central regions of ~0.75Mpc. In contrast, galaxy ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
We selected 19 galaxy clusters from the ROSAT position sensitive proportional counters pointed observations for this project. These had X-ray luminosities in the range LX~0.5-45x10^43^erg/s, angular core radius smaller than 60arcsec and redshifts between 0.15 and 0.70 (for further details, see Paper I, Nilo Castellon et al., 2013, submitted).
