Galaxy Clusters
 

CONTRIBUTION TALKS - PLEASE CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD

The distribution of the gravitating and baryonic mass in galaxy clusters is the key ingredient to use galaxy clusters as astrophysical laboratories and cosmological probes. We propose to discuss this issue in a conference that will be focused mainly on the following items: 

  • the reconstruction of the cluster mass profiles from the core to the virial radius through X-ray, SZ, optical, strong and weak lensing techniques; 
  • the use of the observable quantities as proxies of the gravitating mass; 
  • the mapping of the physical properties of the cluster outskirts; 
  • the estimates of the systematics affecting mass reconstruction and cosmological implications of these measurements.
