我们使用ROSAT PSPC观测确定了9个星系群和星系团的总引力质量。所有这些团簇(跨越1.0至8 keV的气体温度范围)的质光比为100-150 M Ω/L Ω。这表明富星系团并不比单个星系包含更多的暗物质。我们还发现,总质量与发光质量(热气体和恒星)的比率从星系到星系群再到星系团都在均匀地降低。在星系和星系团中,只有10%的引力质量可以被解释,而在富星系团中可以观察到30%。这表明宇宙在更大的尺度上变得“更亮”,而不是“更暗”。
We have used ROSAT PSPC observations to determine the total gravitating mass in a sample of 9 groups and clusters of galaxies. All of these clusters (spanning a range in gas temperatures of 1.0 to 8 keV) have mass‐to‐light ratios of 100–150 M⊙/L⊙. This indicates that rich clusters do not contain any more dark matter than individual galaxies. We also find that the ratio of total mass‐to‐luminous mass (hot gas and stars) uniformly decreases from galaxies, to groups, to clusters. Only 10% of the gravitating mass in galaxies and groups can be accounted for while 30% is observable in rich clusters. This indicates that the universe becomes ‘‘brighter’’ on larger scales not ‘‘darker.’’
