摘要
The present paper is an extension and continuation of Del Popolo (2012a) which studied the role of baryon physics on clusters of galaxies formation. In the present paper, we studied by means of the SIM introduced in Del Popolo (2009), the total and DM density profiles, and the correlations among different quantities, observed by Newman et al. (2012a, b), in seven massive and relaxed clusters, namely MS2137, A963, A383, A611, A2537, A2667, A2390. As already found in Del Popolo 2012a, the density profiles depend on baryonic fraction, angular momentum, and the angular momentum transferred from baryons to DM through dynamical friction. Similarly to Newman et al. (2012a, b), the total density profile, in the radius range 0.003-0.03r(200), has a mean total density profile in agreement with dissipationless simulations. The slope of the DM profiles of all clusters is flatter than -1. The slope, alpha, has a maximum value (including errors) of alpha = -0.88 in the case of A2390, and minimum value alpha = -0.14 for A2537. The baryonic component dominates the mass distribution at radii %26lt; 5-10 kpc, while the outer distribution is dark matter dominated. We found an anti-correlation among the slope alpha, the effective radius, R-e, and the BCG mass, and a correlation among the core radius r(core), and R-e. Moreover, the mass in 100 kpc (mainly dark matter) is correlated with the mass inside 5 kpc (mainly baryons). %26lt;br%26gt;The behavior of the total mass density profile, the DM density profile, and the quoted correlations can be understood in a double phase scenario. In the first dissipative phase the proto-BCG forms, and in the second dissipationless phase, dynamical friction between baryonic clumps (collapsing to the center) and the DM halo flattens the inner slope of the density pro file. %26lt;br%26gt;In simple terms, the large scatter in the inner slope from cluster to cluster, and the anti-correlation among the slope, alpha and R-e is due to the fact that in order to have a total mass density profile which is NFW-like, clusters having more massive BCGs at their centers must contain less DM in their center. Consequently the inner profile has a flatter slope.
