X-Ray Properties of Lensing-Selected Clusters
Abstract
I will present preliminary results from the Michigan Swift X-ray observations of clusters from the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey (SGAS). These clusters were lensing selected based on the presence of a giant arc visible from SDSS. I will characterize the morphology of the intracluster medium (ICM) of the clusters in the sample, and discuss the offset between the X-ray centroid, the mass centroid as determined by strong lensing analysis, and the BCG position. I will also present early-stage work on the scaling relation between the lensing mass and the X-ray luminosity.
