Evolution of the cluster X-ray scaling relations since z>0.4
read the original abstract
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.

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

Probing cosmic anisotropy with galaxy clusters and supernovae
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.
