Dark Matter in Galaxy Clusters
•Dynamical estimates of cluster masses
–Virial Theorem as we have discussed, but…
•Very few clusters exist that can be well done!
•E.g, which are cluster members?
•Must measure many velocities
•
–Case of Coma
•Regular rich cluster, looks like isothermal sphere
•Crossing time arguments OK
•Virial mass issue for Coma first by Zwicky (1937)
•Surface distribution, velocities in next figure…
