LoCuSS: Testing hydrostatic equilibrium in galaxy clusters

2016 
We test the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium in an X-ray luminosity selected sample of 50 galaxy clusters at $0.15Planck, the mean ratio of Planck mass estimate to LoCuSS lensing mass is $\beta_{\rm P}=0.95\pm0.04$. Based on a careful like-for-like analysis, we find that LoCuSS, the Canadian Cluster Comparison Project (CCCP), and Weighing the Giants (WtG) agree on $\beta_{\rm P}\simeq0.9-0.95$ at $0.15Planck cosmology results from the cosmic microwave background and galaxy cluster counts.
