We present a study of the medium distant cluster of galaxies Abell 1835 based on X- data. The high quality of X- data enable us to perform spectro-imaging of the cluster up to large radii. We determine the gas and total mass profiles based on the hydrostatic approach using the β-model and the temperature profile. For the determination of the temperature profile of the , which is needed for the mass determination, we apply a double background subtraction, which accounts for the various kinds of background present (particle and astrophysical background). We find a basically flat temperature profile up to 0.75r200 with a temperature decrease towards the center linked to the cooling flow. We obtain a gas mass fraction of (20.7 ± 3.7)%, which is a lower limit on the baryon fraction in this cluster. Using this value as baryon fraction for the entire Universe, we obtain by combining our results with results based on primordial nucleosynthesis, an upper limit for Ωm < 0.5h −1/2 50 , which is in good agreement with other recent studies.
