The universal galaxy cluster pressure profile from a representative sample of nearby systems (REXCESS) and the Y_SZ - M_500 relation

We investigate the regularity of cluster pressure profiles with REXCESS, a representative sample of 33 local (z < 0.2) clusters drawn from the REFLEX catalogue and observed with XMM-Newton. The sample spans a mass range of 1014 < M500 < 1015 , where M500 is the mass corresponding to a densi...
