We derive correlations between X-ray temperature, luminosity, and gas mass for a sample of 22 distant, z>0.4, galaxy clusters observed with Chandra. We detect evolution in all three correlations between z>0.4 and the present epoch. In particular, in the Omega=0.3, Lambda=0.7 cosmology, the luminosity corresponding to a fixed temperature scales approximately as (1+z)**(1.5+-0.3); the gas mass for a fixed luminosity scales as (1+z)**(-1.8+-0.4); and the gas mass for a fixed temperature scales as (1+z)**(-0.5+-0.4) (all uncertainties are 90% confidence). We briefly discuss the implication of these results for cluster evolution models.

  1. New constraints on cosmic anisotropy from galaxy clusters using an improved dipole fitting method

    astro-ph.CO 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Galaxy cluster observations yield two preferred directions with cosmic anisotropy amplitude of about 5.3 times 10 to the minus 4 at roughly 1 sigma overall significance, though higher in the XMM-Newton subsample.

  2. Probing cosmic anisotropy with galaxy clusters and supernovae

    astro-ph.CO 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Analysis of galaxy cluster and supernova data reveals a ~2σ directional variation in the Hubble constant, robust across calibration methods and aligned with the CMB dipole.
