Abstract
The cluster Abell 2104 is one of the lowest redshift clusters (z = 0.153) known to have a gravitational lensing arc. We present detailed analysis of the cluster properties such as the gravitational potential using the X-ray data from ROSAT (HRI) and ASCA, as well as optical imaging and spectroscopic data from the CFHT. The cluster is highly luminous in the X-ray with a bolometric luminosity of Lx↑ 3 × 1045 ergs s−1 and a high gas temperature of ↑ 10.4 keV. The X-ray emission extending out to at least a radius of 1.46 Mpc, displays significant substructure. The total mass deduced from the X-ray data under the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium and isothermal gas, is found to beMtot(r < 1.46Mpc) ↑ (8.0±0.8)×1014M. The gas fraction within a radius of 1.46 Mpc is ↑ 5−10%. The cluster galaxy velocity distribution has a dispersion of 1200 ± 200 km s−1 with no obvious evidence for substructure. The total mass within 1.46 Mpc, deduced from Jean’s equation using the observed galaxy number density distribution and velocity dispersion, is found to be ↑ 6.8 × 1014M to ↑ 2.6 × 1015M marginally consistent with the X-ray deduced total mass.
