Aims. We investigate the properties of cluster ClG 0332-2747 at z = 0.734 in the GOODS-South field, which was undetected in the Chandra 2Ms observations. We explore possible scenarios to explain the discrepancy between its low X-ray emission and that expected from the M − LX relation.
Methods. We use the large public spectroscopic database available in the GOODS-South field to estimate the dynamical mass and the virialization status of ClG 0332-2747. Cluster members selected from their photometric redshift are used with spectroscopic ones to analyse the galaxy population of the cluster. In the newly released Chandra 4Ms observations we detect a faint extended X-ray emission associated to the cluster. Finally, we compare the optical and X-ray properties of ClG 0332-2747 with the predictions of a well-tested semianalytic model.
Results. We estimate the velocity dispersion and the virial mass considering all 44 spectroscopic members, or 20 red-sequence members only. We obtain σv = 634 ± 105 km s-1, in the former case, and slightly lower values in the latter case. The cluster appears to have reached the virial equilibrium: it shows a perfectly Gaussian velocity distribution and no evidence for substructures. ClG 0332-2747 contains a high fraction of bright red galaxies and is dominated by a very massive (1.1 × 1012 M⊙) old brightest cluster galaxy (BCG), suggesting that it formed at an early epoch. We detect a faint extended X-ray source centred on the BCG, with a total X-ray luminosity of LX ~ 2 × 1042 erg s-1 (0.1–2.4 keV). This LX is lower by a factor of ~10–20 than expected according to the M − LX relation. We provide a possible explanation of this discrepancy in assigning it to the effects of AGN feedback on the ICM: the semianalytic model reproduces the M − LX relation measured from “X-ray bright” clusters, and it predicts a high scatter at low masses owing to heating and expulsion of the cluster gas. Interestingly, the model clusters with an evolved galaxy population like ClG 0332-2747 present the largest scatter in X-ray luminosity. However, the low X-ray emission of ClG 0332-2747 is just marginally compatible with predictions, which indicates that additional feedback effects should be included in the model.
Conclusions. We propose a scenario where “X-ray underluminous” clusters are explained by the strong feedback effect on the ICM in highly evolved clusters. Our hypothesis can be tested by the combined analysis of the galaxy population and of the X-ray emission in large cluster samples.

1. Introduction
A multiwavelength approach in the detection and investigation of distant galaxy clusters is necessary to determine the interconnection between the evolution of the dark matter component and of their baryon content, and to determine the impact of selection biases in available and future cluster samples. The area that can probably benefit most from this approach is the study of the shape and evolution of cluster scaling relations. Assuming that gravity alone determines the evolution of their gas halos, galaxy clusters of different masses are expected to be scaled versions of each other (i.e. to be “self-similar”), and to show simple power-law relations between their properties Mtot, Mgas, LX, T (Kaiser 1986). It was soon realised that the observed scaling relations can have different forms with respect to simple self-similar predictions (e.g. Markevitch 1998; Reiprich & Böhringer 2002); in addition it is still under debate whether evolution with redshift has a self-similar beahviour (e.g. Ettori et al. 2004; Maughan 2007; Pacaud et al. 2007).
The observed deviations from self-similarity arise because of non-gravitational processes, either through a pre-heating mechanism (Kaiser 1991) or through the internal impact of feedback from supernovae (Borgani et al. 2005; Muanwong et al. 2006) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) (Puchwein et al. 2008; McCarthy et al. 2011; Short et al. 2010). In this respect, optical analyses are needed to properly assess the physical origin of these deviations since optical mass estimates directly trace the depth of the cluster potential well, either through galaxy dynamics or weak lensing. When compared to X-ray estimates they allow us to directly evaluate the non-gravitational processes acting on the gas. The reported differences in the scaling relations between optically and X-ray selected clusters (e.g. Bignamini et al. 2008; Hicks et al. 2008) further indicate that unbiased samples are needed to investigate the extent to which non-gravitational processes modify cluster gas properties.
Clusters that show striking discrepancies between X-ray and optical properties are optimal targets for investigating the impact of non-gravitational effects in the evolution of the intracluster medium. This is the case of the so-called “X-ray underluminous” clusters, which exhibit much lower X-ray luminosities than expected from their optically estimated mass, velocity dispersion, or richness (e.g. Bower et al. 1994, 1997; Lubin et al. 2002, 2004; Gilbank et al. 2004; Hicks et al. 2004; Rasmussen et al. 2006; Fang et al. 2007; Popesso et al. 2007).
Indeed, their low X-ray luminosity might be owing to a small gas content, either because feedback ejected a significant fraction of the ICM (Rasmussen et al. 2006), or because of a higher efficiency of galaxy formation (Gilbank et al. 2004). Alternatively it has been suggested that they might still be in a forming process (Lubin et al. 2002; Rasmussen et al. 2006; Popesso et al. 2007; Dietrich et al. 2009). On the other hand, optical estimates can be plagued by difficulties in separating virialized and infalling cluster members (Bower et al. 1997), and in classyfing mergers, chance projections or filaments observed along the line of sight (Bower et al. 1997; Gilbank et al. 2004; Lubin et al. 2004). In this respect, Andreon et al. (2008) revised some claimed X-ray underluminous clusters, finding that most of them are indeed compatible with known scaling relations.
In our previous paper (Salimbeni et al. 2009, hereafter S09), we presented a catalogue of 12 groups and small clusters at 0.4 < z < 2.5 in the GOODS-South field detected through our (2+1)D algorithm (described in detail in Trevese et al. 2007). On the basis of the then available Chandra 2Ms observations we found that the two most massive clusters in our sample at z = 0.73 (cluster ClG 0332-2747 hereafter) and at z = 1.61 (ClG 0332-2742) were both undetected, implying an X-ray luminosity significantly lower than what is expected from the M − LX relation. While cluster ClG 0332-2742 at z = 1.61 probably has not yet reached a relaxed status (Castellano et al. 2007; Kurk et al. 2009), cluster ClG 0332-2747 appears to be very similar to lower redshift relaxed clusters.
Here we present a more detailed analysis of cluster ClG 0332-2747 and a comparison of its observed properties with the predictions of our semianalytic model. In particular, the present analysis is based on the large amount of new spectroscopic data on the GOODS-South field published in the last two years, and on the newly released Chandra 4MS observations of the CDFS.
The paper is organised as follows: in Sect. 2 we describe the data set. In Sect. 3 we discuss the optical properties of ClG 0332-2747: velocity dispersion, virialization status, virial mass, total stellar mass and the properties of its galaxy population. The X-ray analysis of the cluster, along with a comparison with the latest estimate of the M − LX relation, is discussed in Sect. 4, while a discussion of the possible physical origin of its properties is given in Sect. 5. Finally, we summarize our results in Sect. 6.
All magnitudes used in the present paper are in the AB system, if not otherwise declared. An ΩΛ = 0.7, ΩM = 0.3, and H0 = 70 km s-1 Mpc-1 cosmology is adopted.
2. Data
We used the multicolour GOODS-MUSIC catalogue (GOODS MUlticolour Southern Infrared Catalog, Grazian et al. 2006; Santini et al. 2009a,b), which comprises information in 15 bands (from U band to 24 μm) over an area of about 143.2 arcmin2 in the Chandra Deep Field South. The spectroscopic sample included in GOODS-MUSIC comes from several surveys (Wolf et al. 2001; Le Fèvre et al. 2004; Szokoly et al. 2004; Daddi et al. 2005; Mignoli et al. 2005; Vanzella et al. 2005, 2006, 2008; Popesso et al. 2009), with the addition of the latest redshifts in the V2.0.1 VIMOS release of Balestra et al. (2010). The remaining objects in the catalogue have accurate photometric redshifts with σΔz/(1 + z) = 0.03 up to redshift z = 2.
The X-ray analysis is based on the newly released 3.8Ms Chandra observation of the CDFS1 built from the original exposures (Giacconi et al. 2002; Luo et al. 2008) plus the 31 observations taken in 2010.
3. Optical analysis
We initially identified cluster ClG 0332-2747 in Trevese et al. (2007) by applying our algorithm to the data from the K20 catalogue, and we discussed its optical properties: it presents a well defined red sequence and an evident segregation of red galaxies typical of relaxed clusters. In S09 we estimated a mass in the range 0.9 − 3.0 × 1014 M⊙ (for bias factor b = 2 and b = 1 respectively) from the overdensity of galaxies, following the method by Steidel et al. (1998). We also used the spectroscopic members of the overdensity to estimate a σv ~ 634 km s-1 and Mvir ~ 3.2 × 1014 M⊙. Here we exploit all the new spectroscopic information available to re-estimate cluster position and virial mass, and to analyse the virialization status of the cluster in a self-consistent way.
We follow the method described by Biviano et al. (2006, B06 hereafter) with minor adaptations to our data-set to compute velocity dispersion and virial mass for ClG 0332-2747. After constraining the cluster extension in redshift space and selecting its spectroscopic members, we apply the two mass estimators proposed by B06: the classical virial mass estimator M200 (Mv in their paper) and their Mσ estimator. The first one is based both on the velocity dispersion and on the harmonic mean radius of the cluster galaxies (M200 ∝ σ2R); Mσ comes from the best-fitting relation between velocity dispersion and mass in their simulated clusters. We explore possible systematics by considering all galaxies in the cluster and red-sequence members only. The virialization status of the cluster is discussed in Sect. 3.2.1. A summary of the properties of the cluster is given in Table 1.

3.1. Selection of cluster members
We first constrained the cluster extension in redshift space through the “gapper method” described in Beers et al. (1990). We selected all spectroscopic galaxies within one Abell radius (2.15 Mpc) from the centre of the overdensity and in a wide redshift range (~20 000 km s-1) around the known redshift peak of the structure (z ~ 0.734). By adopting a threshold of 4 in the normalized weighted gap distribution (as suggested by Girardi et al. 1993) we confined the cluster redshift extension to the interval 0.7286 ≤ z ≤ 0.7420. This interval includes 97 spectroscopic members. We checked that this value does not change when adopting a more precise determination of the cluster centre as discussed below.
Among these members we searched for the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) of ClG 0332-2747. Indeed, the best optical indicator of a cluster centre is the position of its central dominant galaxy, which is known to lie close to the peak of the emission in X-ray bright clusters (e.g. Jones et al. 1979), and to be located at the bottom of the cluster potential well (e.g. Oegerle & Hill 2001). The BCG of cluster ClG 0332-2747 has been readily identified as the object IDGOODS − MUSIC = 9792 at RA = 53.07506°, Dec = –27.7885°, which is the brightest galaxy in the sample, is a red-sequence member and lies at the peak of the spectroscopic redshift distribution. No interlopers in the projected phase-space were found by applying the method by den Hartog & Katgert (1996; see also Katgert et al. 2004) to all galaxies in the above redshift interval and up to one projected Abell radius from the BCG.
From the previous estimates of velocity dispersion for ClG 0332-2747 (S09), and the Rvir − σv relation in Girardi et al. (1998), we expect the virial radius, which separates the relaxed region from the infall region of the cluster (Cole & Lacey 1996), to be ~ 1 Mpc. In the following we therefore estimate velocity dispersion and virial mass from the 44 spectroscopic members within 1.0 Mpc from the BCG. To study the properties of the galaxy population in ClG 0332-2747, we also exploit the 163 photometric members of the cluster including all galaxies within 1.0 Mpc from the BCG and having photometric redshift 0.63 ≤ zphot ≤ 0.83 (~2σphoto − z from the cluster redshift).
In Fig. 2 we show the resulting colour-magnitude diagram of ClG 0332-2747 in the observed ACS V606 and z850 bands (V and Z hereafter) bracketing the 4000 Å break: the evident red sequence has a slope that is consistent with the one measured in low-redshift clusters, as discussed in Trevese et al. (2007).

The vertical line at the observed Z = 22.75 corresponds to V = −20.0 rest frame. The fraction of red galaxies (V − Z ≥ 1.7) brighter than this limit is ~60% within 1 Mpc and ~74% within 0.6 × R200. |
3.2. Velocity dispersion
We used the biweight estimator (Beers et al. 1990) to compute the projected velocity dispersion σv, and we took into account redshift uncertainties following Danese et al. (1980). The spectroscopic sample of ClG 0332-2747 is based on observations carried out with different instruments, yielding redshift uncertainties ranging from δz = 0.00040 (VIMOS MR grism, Balestra et al. 2010) up to δz = 0.0012 (VVDS, Le Fèvre et al. 2004). We thus corrected the velocity dispersion according to the average redshift uncertainty of the sample, δz = 0.001.
The biweight estimate of the cluster mean redshift and the corrected velocity dispersion for all 44 spectroscopic members within 1 Mpc from the cluster center are z = 0.7347 ± 0.0006, σv = 634 ± 105 km s-1. Uncertainties (68% c.l.) were computed with the jackknife method as suggested by Beers et al. (1990). The velocity dispersion is perfectly consistent with the previous analysis of S09. The velocity dispersion profile of ClG 0332-2747, shown in Fig. 3, appears nearly flat within 1 Mpc in agreement with an isotropic velocity distribution (Girardi et al. 1998).
We also computed the velocity dispersion considering red spectroscopic members only. We applied the colour cut V − Z ≥ 1.7 to select all reliable red-sequence members, and we excluded the three brightest ones because they might have been slowed down by segregation effects (Biviano et al. 1992). From the 20 remaining objects we obtain a velocity dispersion σv,red = 516 ± 118 km s-1, which is consistent at 1σ with the velocity dispersion of the full sample, although slightly lower.

3.2.1. Virialization status
The velocity dispersion can be effectively used to estimate the total dynamical mass only if the cluster has reached a relaxed status (virial equilibrium). This status, which is acquired through the process of “violent relaxation” (Lynden-Bell 1967), is characterised by a Gaussian galaxy velocity distribution (e.g. Nakamura 2000; Merrall & Henriksen 2003) and, as shown by N-body simulations, by a low mass fraction included in substructures (e.g. Shaw et al. 2006). We performed five one-dimensional statistical tests to investigate whether the velocity distribution of the galaxy members is consistent with being Gaussian: the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (as implemented in the ROSTAT package of Beers et al. 1990), two classical normality tests (skewness and kurtosis) and the two more robust asymmetry index (A.I.) and tail index (T.I.) described in Bird & Beers (1993). The expected values for a Gaussian distribution are 0.0 for skewness, kurtosis, and A.I. and 1.0 for the (normalized) T.I.. We find consistency on the basis of the K-S test, and values of 0.05, –0.25, –0.012, 0.96 for skewness, kurtosis, A.I., and T.I. respectively. By comparing these values with the confidence intervals reported in Bird & Beers (1993) for a sample with 50 objects, we find that all the tests are perfectly consistent with the velocity distribution of ClG 0332-2747 being Gaussian. We plot in Fig. 4 the rest frame velocities of the 44 objects in our sample (panel a), the differential (b) and cumulative (c) velocity distributions, along with the best-fit Gaussian. The velocity distributions of “red” and “blue” galaxies, defined according to their (V − Z) colour as discussed above, are also separately consistent with being Gaussians.
Properties of ClG 0332-2747.
We then performed the two-dimensional Δ-test of Dressler & Shectman (1988) to look for substructures. In brief, this test quantifies the degree of correlation between the projected position and the velocity of each cluster member to locate cooler or hotter systems within the cluster, such as substructures or flows of infalling galaxies. We computed the individual δ values for each galaxy considering its nearest neighbours, as suggested by Pinkney et al. (1996). The statistics was normalized by randomly shuffling galaxy velocities through 10 000 Monte Carlo simulations. We obtain P(Δ) = 0.254, which is higher than the limit P(Δ) = 0.1 commonly adopted as indicative of substructures (e.g. Popesso et al. 2007). As a final test of the reliability of the estimated σv, we removed eight objects with δ > 3 as possible interlopers or infalling objects and computed the velocity dispersion of the remaining 36 cluster members (having P(Δ) ~ 0.6). We find a biweight σv = 600 ± 113 km s-1, consistent with the one derived from the full sample.

3.3. Virial mass
Given the apparent relaxed status of ClG 0332-2747 we used its velocity dispersion to estimate the virial mass M200. We first estimated the cluster mass inside the aperture a = 1.0 Mpc as , where RPV is the projected virial radius estimated from the distance between pairs of all galaxies within r = a (see Girardi et al. 1998, for details). We corrected Ma for the surface pressure term (The & White 1986) by applying a typical correction at Rvir of 20% as indicated by Girardi et al. (1998) for isotropic galaxy orbits. We estimated the virial radius following Carlberg et al. (1997) as R200 = a· [ρa/(200ρc(z)) ] 1/ξ, where
,
is the corrected value of Ma, ρc(z) is the critical density of the Universe, and ξ = 2.4 is the local slope of the cluster mass density profile near R200 (Katgert et al. 2004). Finally, we extrapolated
to R200 considering a NFW profile (Navarro et al. 1997) with concentration parameter c = 4.0·(σv/700.0)-0.306 (Katgert et al. 2004).
We obtain Mpc, and
in agreement with the M200 ~ 3.0 × 1014 M⊙ that we obtained in S09 from the overdensity assuming that galaxies are unbiased tacers of the underlying dark matter distribution.
The virial mass computed through the Mσ estimator of B06, which they find to be more robust against biases, is , consistent with the previous one.
On the other hand, from the red galaxies sample we obtain a virial mass (
Mpc) and a consistent value for Mσ,red. The estimated M200 and M200,red masses change by less than ~5% varying the NFW concentration parameter in the range c = 2−8, or the slope at R200 in the range ξ = 2.0−2.8.
The difference between masses obtained with the full sample and those from red galaxies indicates that at least one of the two samples is a biased tracer of the cluster dynamics. We follow the discussion in B06 to interpret this discrepancy. They find that M200 can be biased by the overestimate of the harmonic mean radius of the cluster due to the presence of interlopers in the sample. In their simulations, when estimating M200 with red galaxies only, the presence of interlopers is reduced but not cancelled, which implies that the radius is still slightly overestimated. However, since early type galaxies underestimate the velocity dispersion, the resulting M200 is closer to the true value.
On the other hand, Mσ is less affected by the presence of interlopers being only based on the cluster velocity dispersion. This implies that Mσ estimated from all cluster galaxies is more robust against biases, while it is biased low when using early type galaxies only. In our case, the agreement we find between the two estimators (in both samples) implies that M200 and M200,red are unaffected by the presence of interlopers. This is also suggested by the results of the Dressler-Schechtman tests presented in the previous section. Thus, the lower value of M200,red is most probably caused by red galaxies underestimating the velocity dispersion of the cluster. In the following we will consider M200 as the reference estimate, and we will keep M200,red as a lower limit for the cluster mass.
3.4. Total stellar mass and fraction of red galaxies in ClG 0332-2747
The properties of the galaxy population in clusters are linked to the formation history of the structure and show correlations to its total mass. We thus estimated the total stellar mass and investigated the properties of the BCG and of red sequence galaxies in ClG 0332-2747 to provide a comparison with other high-redshift clusters. The rest-frame magnitudes and stellar masses for galaxies in the GOODS-MUSIC sample were obtained through a SED fitting technique, as described in detail in Grazian et al. (2006) and Fontana et al. (2006).
To compute the total stellar mass of the cluster we considered cluster members as defined in Sect 3.1. All 28 massive objects (M > 1010 Msun) in this sample are bright spectroscopic members of the cluster, yielding a stellar mass ~3 × 1012 M⊙. We fitted a Schechter mass function (MF) considering both photometric and spectroscopic members through a maximum likelihood technique (e.g. Fontana et al. 2004). Extrapolating this MF to lower masses, the resulting total stellar mass of the cluster is Mstar = 3.3 ± 0.5 × 1012 M⊙, which accounts for the uncertainties both on the SED fitting masses and on the MF parameters.
A comparison with the cluster sample of Andreon et al. (2008) shows that the total stellar mass of ClG 0332-2747 agrees with the one expected for clusters of M200 ~ 1−3 × 1014 M⊙.
The BCG, with a stellar mass M = 1.1 × 1012 M⊙, contributes about one third to the total stellar mass. The BCG is probably also an AGN host because it is detected both in the radio (Kellermann et al. 2008; Middelberg et al. 2011) and in X-ray (Luo et al. 2008) while it shows no signs of ongoing star formation from its SED. It is associated to the point-like X-ray source 173 in the CDFS 2Ms catalogue by Luo et al. (2008), with an X-ray 0.5–2 keV flux of 1.6 × 10-16 erg/cm2/s and an upper limit of 0.32 on the hardness ratio. It is also associated to the radio source 112 in the VLA catalogue by Kellermann et al. (2008) with a flux density of 524 ± 14 μ Jy and 390 ± 11 μ Jy at 1.4 GHz and 4.8 GHz respectively, corresponding to a spectral index α = −0.2 ± 0.1. Although both these radio and X-ray analyses do not unambiguosly point to the presence of nuclear activity, Middelberg et al. (2011) detected it in the VLBI observations as a point-like source (S423) whose brightness temperature 2.2 × 106 K clearly indicates an AGN. They estimate a 5GHz luminosity of 7.5 × 1023 W Hz-1 typical of Seyfert galaxies. We argue that the emission lines in the BCG spectrum discussed by Afonso et al. (2006), as the X-ray and radio emission, are also caused by the presence of an AGN because its SED is typical of an old galaxy with a passively evolving stellar population and negligible star-formation rate. Fitting a mixed stellar+AGN SED does not appreciably change the mass estimate, which indicates that the stellar population dominates the IR emission of the galaxy. This BCG is quite remarkable: it has a very high formation redshift (zform ~ 5), it is the most massive object in the GOODS South sample and among the most massive BCGs found at high redshift (see, e.g., Stott et al. 2010). Moreover, the BCG is very bright (K ≃ −26.7 rest frame, referred to Vega) and it is ~1.2 mag brighter than the second brightest galaxy in the K band. According to Smith et al. (2010), clusters hosting these dominant BCGs are quite rare even at lower redshift: they present a low degree of substructures and tend to be more centrally concentrated than average, suggesting that they formed at an early epoch.
We defined the fraction of red galaxies fred as the fraction of objects with (V − Z) ≥ 1.7 at MV ≤ −20.0 considering both spectroscopic members of the cluster and photometric members as defined above. We considered galaxies at r < 0.6 × R200 to provide a comparison with the relation between velocity dispersion and fraction of E+S0 galaxies in high-z clusters by Poggianti et al. (2009). This is a conservative selection, because photometric members are all “blue” galaxies and part of them might be interlopers. We obtain , considering the uncertainty on the R200 estimated from the full spectroscopic sample. The fraction of red galaxies within the entire virial radius is ~60% (Fig. 2). These values are considerably higher than the fraction of bright early-type galaxies (~40%) found by Poggianti et al. (2009) in high-redshift (z > 0.5) clusters with σv ~ 500−700 km s-1, but is consistent with what they find in nearby ones, suggesting that the galaxy population in ClG 0332-2747 is significantly more evolved than in other distant clusters. Along with the high mass and luminosity of the BCG, the high fraction of red galaxies is an indication that ClG 0332-2747 had formed at a very early epoch.
4. X-ray properties
In the combined 4Ms image we detect a faint extended X-ray source, centred on the position of the BCG (Fig. 5). After masking the BCG and three other X-ray point sources, we obtain 115 ± 35 counts (S/N = 3.3) in the 0.5–1.5 keV band in an aperture of radius 27.6 arcsec (≃0.2 Mpc) that apparently encloses all detectable flux. The S/N in the various bands is definitely too low to perform an accurate spectral fitting. However, the galaxy velocity dispersion in relaxed clusters is tightly correlated with the gas temperature because they both depend on the depth of the potential well. Following the σv − T relation estimated by Xue & Wu (2000), we obtain a temperature kT = 3 ± 1 keV for our cluster, considering the velocity dispersion of all spectroscopic members.

The flux in the observed 0.5–2.0 keV band is F0.5−2 = 2.3 ± 0.7 × 10-16 erg cm-2 s-1 when a thermal emission plasma model (MEKAL, Mewe et al. 1985, 1986) with fixed metallicity and temperature (Z = 0.3 Z⊙, kT = 3 ± 1 keV) is applied. To convert the measured fluxes to rest frame total LX in the 0.1–2.4 keV band, we estimated K-corrections for the corresponding spectra. We corrected for the missing flux at larger radii following the procedure by Böhringer et al. (2004): we integrated up to 12 core radii an isothermal beta-profile (Cavaliere & Fusco-Femiano 1976) with the parameters and
Mpc.
We obtain . The velocity dispersion of red sequence galaxies implies a lower temperature range (1.4–3.0 keV) and a slightly shallower gas profile, yielding LX = 2.2 ± 0.68 × 1042 erg s-1.

(2010) (blue). |
We compare the properties of ClG 0332-2747 with the latest estimate of the M200 − LX scaling relation by Leauthaud et al. (2010). Their mass estimates come from a weak-lensing analysis of the X-ray sample detected by Finoguenov et al. (2007) in the COSMOS Field, while X-ray total luminosities were computed assuming profile parameters as outlined above. The position of ClG 0332-2747 in the M200 − LX plot is shown in Fig. 6. Considering the virial mass estimated from the full spectroscopic sample (black square and error bars), the LX is too low by a factor of ≳ 20 with respect to the scaling relation measured from X-ray “bright” galaxy clusters. The X-ray luminosity is discrepant by a factor of ≳ 10 with the scaling relation, even considering the virial mass estimate M200,red obtained from the red galaxies only (green square in Fig. 6).
We also show in Fig. 7 a comparison with the high-redshift cluster sample of Andreon et al. (2008) in the σv − LX plane. We assumed the same profile parameters as above to compute a total LX = 1.42 ± 0.43 × 1042 erg s-1 in the rest frame 1.0–4.0 keV band, for kT = 3 ± 1keV. Once optical estimates obtained from red galaxies are considered (green square), the corresponding luminosity is lower than in the 0.1–2.4 keV band, since the σv,red implies a lower temperature and thus a reduced emission in the 1–4 keV band. Again, cluster ClG 0332-2747 shows a much lower luminosity than high-redshift clusters with similar velocity dispersion.
5. Discussion
The huge discrepancy between the X-ray luminosity of ClG 0332-2747 and of clusters with similar M200 can be explained by a lower than expected gas mass, density, or temperature.
As shown by Cavaliere et al. (2002) and by Lapi et al. (2005), the energy injection ΔE from SNe and AGNs can expand the cluster gas halo and expel a substantial fraction of its original mass. This implies a shallower profile (i.e. a lower β parameter) and a reduced total X-ray emission. The overall feedback effect depends on the merging history of the cluster, being related to the ratios ΔE/E between the injected energy and binding energy E in each progenitor halo of the cluster. We exploited our semianalytic model (described in detail in Menci et al. 2006, 2008a) to estimate the scatter in the M200 − LX and to assess whether a strong feedback is capable of lowering the X-ray luminosity at the level observed in ClG 0332-2747. This model successfully reproduces the observed properties of both galaxies and AGNs across a wide redshift range (e.g. Fontana et al. 2006; Menci et al. 2008b; Calura & Menci 2009; Lamastra et al. 2010), and it is the same one adopted in Cavaliere et al. (2002) and in Lapi et al. (2005) to provide a comparison with the properties of X-ray detected clusters.
We consider 105 simulated halos with M ≳ 2 × 1013 M⊙: in Fig. 8 we show their distribution in the M − LX plane as colour-coded contours. The model agrees with the observed position of “X-ray bright” clusters in the diagram (blue points), but it shows a large scatter in the M − LX relation at low masses owing to the effect of feedback. To provide a more meaningful comparison with the simulated clusters, the total X-ray luminosity of ClG 0332-2747 was re-determined assuming a broader profile with β = 0.45, which is the value corresponding to the strongest non-thermal energy injection in the model, and integrating up to R200. This shallow profile implies a luminosity that is slightly higher than in Fig. 6, although still highly discrepant with the range of luminosities predicted for structures of this virial mass (black point and error bars).
In Fig. 8 we also show the Mstar/Mgas ratio as a function of the virial temperature for ClG 0332-2747 (black) and for the clusters reported in Dai et al. (2010) (blue points), along with the relevant distribution in the simulated clusters. The total gas mass within R200, , was computed assuming β = 0.45 as before, and pure bremsstrahlung emissivity; we obtain
. An even higher ratio (Mstar/Mgas ~ 0.8) is found assuming average profile parameters as in Sect. 4. Notably, the model reproduces the Mstar/Mgas ratios measured by Dai et al. (2010) quite well, but ratios as high as for ClG 0332-2747 are not found in simulated clusters of similar virial temperature.
When considering the estimates based on red galaxies only (green points and error bars in Fig. 8), ClG 0332-2747 appears to be marginally compatible with the lower luminosity simulated clusters in the M − LX plane, and its Mstar/Mgas ratio is barely compatible with those found in the cooler simulated structures.
Nonetheless, the analysis of the connection between the model predictions for the ICM emission and for the properties of cluster galaxies allows us to derive interesting clues on the possible physical origin for the peculiarity of ClG 0332-2747. As noted in Sect. 3.4, ClG 0332-2747 shows a high fraction of red, bright galaxies, which is comparable to the ratio observed only in very massive clusters at z > 0.5.
We thus considered only the subsample of simulated clusters (8% of the total) with a red fraction as high as ClG 0332-2747 (fred > 60%) and a high stellar mass (Mstar > 5 × 1012 M⊙). We show in Fig. 9 the same plots as in Fig. 8 for these highly evolved clusters. These objects show a scatter of a factor of 10–20 in X-ray luminosity at fixed total mass. A higher fraction of objects with a high Mstar/Mgas ratio is found among them. This is due to their formation history: their many red massive galaxies formed in biased environments at high redshift, and they likely host supermassive black holes whose feedback impact is particularly effective in expelling the ICM from the potential well. While these highly evolved clusters appears to be closer to ClG 0332-2747 than “average” high-redshift ones, the remaining discrepancies between them and ClG 0332-2747 indicates that the model might still underestimate the effect of feedback. In particular, Mstar/Mgas ratios as high as in ClG 0332-2747 are not found among simulated clusters of similar Tvir, suggesting that the model underpredicts the fraction of gas mass expelled because of the effect of feedback.
This scenario can be empirically tested by the analysis of a larger sample of high-redshift clusters through looking for a correlation between anomalous X-ray emission and the presence of a high fraction of evolved galaxies within the virialized region. However, a deeper understanding of the connection between the effects of AGN feedback on galaxies and on the ICM is required to provide an exahustive answer on this point. In this respect, the observed properties of ClG 0332-2747 discussed in Sect. 3.4 are consistent with an early formation epoch and thus with a feedback impact in its past history greater than in other clusters of the same mass, although the feedback should have been even more effective than what is predicted by the model. We note that our model only includes the mechanical feedback from the blast wave triggered during the bright QSO phase of AGN activity. As shown by Giodini et al. (2010), radio-active galactic nuclei can also unbind a significant fraction of the ICM in galaxy groups. It is thus possible that including this additional feedback along the evolutionary history of simulated clusters could reconcile the observation of X-ray underluminous structures such as ClG 0332-2747 with the model predictions.
5.1. Deviations from virial equilibrium and possible failures of optical estimates
Albeit a larger than expected impact of feedback provides a suggestive and physically grounded scenario for the existence of underluminous clusters, other possible explanations have been proposed. A low X-ray luminosity can also be explained if the gas is not virialized and far from the high temperature needed to emit the expected LX. Indeed, it has been argued that X-ray underluminous clusters might still be in the process of formation (e.g. Bower et al. 1997; Rasmussen et al. 2006; Popesso et al. 2007). While this might be the case for some clusters where the velocity distribution strongly deviates from a Gaussian (as in Rasmussen et al. 2006), we argue that this is no likely explanation for ClG 0332-2747. The analysis of the region within R200 discussed in Sect. 3.2.1, and the galaxy properties discussed in Sect. 3.4, provide strong evidence that the cluster has already relaxed. An unvirialized status of the gas within the inner region would be in contrast with the simple theoretical expectation that gas and galaxies need comparable timescales to reach virial equilibrium (e.g. Gunn & Gott 1972). On the other hand, the unrelaxed nature of the external regions found in X-ray underluminous Abell clusters by Popesso et al. (2007) might not be directly related to the status of the cluster core, because the time elapsed from the first collapse of the structure is usually shorter than the timescale needed by distant galaxies to relax in the cluster potential well (e.g. Sarazin 1988; Voit 2005). The detection of collapsing systems and of clusters with substructures or complex morphologies, but which display a high X-ray emission (e.g. Valtchanov et al. 2004; Bourdin et al. 2011), further indicates that a low X-ray luminosity is more probably related to the evolutionary history of the ICM than to the virialization status.
As noted by Bower et al. (1997), clusters classified as “X-ray underluminous” might be poor systems where optical mass estimates fail because they are embedded in a filament observed along the line of sight. In this case, we expect blue, star-forming galaxies to be mostly part of the environment surrounding the cluster. We exclude this hypothesis in our case, because the population of blue galaxies in ClG 0332-2747 show a velocity dispersion that is consistent with being Gaussian (Sect. 3.2.1), as expected if they have undergone relaxation in the cluster potential well. Although mass estimates might suffer of systematic uncertainties even when cluster members are properly selected (as extensively discussed by B06), ClG 0332-2747 is still discrepant with known scaling relations even considering the mass estimated from red-sequence members only, which tend to underestimate rather than overstimate the true dynamical mass of the cluster.
These considerations lead us to conclude that the most likely explanation for the existence of X-ray underluminous clusters lies in a large scatter in the M − LX relation owing to feedback effects, as suggested by the properties of simulated clusters. The remaining discrepancy between model predictions and the properties of ClG 0332-2747indicates that feedback effects might be even stronger than what is contemplated by our model. However, we underline that only a multiwavelength analysis of larger cluster samples will provide a clear answer to this question.
6. Summary and conclusions
We have presented a spectroscopic and X-ray analysis of the cluster ClG 0332-2747 at z = 0.7347 in the GOODS-South field, based on the newly released Chandra 4MS observations and on the large amount of public spectroscopic data available. We estimate a velocity dispersion σv = 634 ± 105 km s-1 from 44 spectroscopic members within 1 Mpc from the BCG, and σv,red = 516 ± 118 km s-1 considering only 20 red sequence members. From these velocity dispersions, following standard procedures, we estimate , (
Mpc), and
, (
Mpc), respectively. Galaxies within the virial radius have a velocity distribution that is consistent with a Gaussian according both to classical (K-S test, skewness, kurtosis) and to robust one dimensional tests (asymmetry and tail indices). There is no evidence for substructures within the virial core according to the Dressler-Schechtman test (P(Δ) > 0.1). These estimates are consistent with virial equilibrium within ~ 1 Mpc from the cluster center. We measure a total stellar mass of Mstar = 3.3 ± 0.5 × 1012 M⊙ from both spectroscopic and photometric members of the cluster. The BCG is among the most massive found in high-redshift clusters, contributing about one third of this value; it is also a radio and X-ray detected AGN. Cluster ClG 0332-2747 has a high fraction of red galaxies fred ≃ 74% at MV ≤ − 20.0, which is unusually high when compared with the fraction of early-type galaxies of these luminosities in similar high-redshift clusters (Poggianti et al. 2009). The high fraction of red galaxies and the properties of the BCG suggest that the cluster is in an evolved status and was formed at an early epoch.
We detected an extended X-ray source centred on the BCG, whose total X-ray luminosity in the range 0.1–2.4 keV (LX ≃ 2 × 1042 erg s-1) is different by a factor of ~10−20 with the latest estimates of the observed M − LX relation considering either the M200 and M200,red values for the virial mass. Cluster ClG 0332-2747 thus appears to be one of the so-called “X-ray underluminous” clusters reported in the literature.
We explored possible explanations for this discrepancy. We argue that it is unlikely that the ICM has not yet virialized, because the virial core appears to be relaxed and free of substructures, and gas is expected to heat to the virial temperature on a short timescale. We find it more likely that the cluster gas has been heated and in part was expelled from the potential well because of strong AGN feedback. This is suggested by the comparison with our semianalytic model, which shows that clusters with an evolved galaxy population like ClG 0332-2747 present a large scatter in X-ray luminosity at fixed mass. However, the X-ray emission of ClG 0332-2747 is still discrepant with model predictions when considering the M200 estimated from the full galaxy sample and it is only marginally compatible with simulated clusters when considering the M200,red estimate. The remaining difference with respect to simulated clusters might indicate that the model still underestimates the effect of feedback on the ICM.
The apparent relaxed status and the properties of ClG 0332-2747 indicate that “X-ray underluminous” clusters of this kind are real structures and that the population of galaxy clusters is more heterogeneous than what appears in X-ray flux limited samples. We note that this scenario qualitatively agrees with the reported discrepancies between optically and X-ray selected cluster samples. Indeed, we expect optical detections to effectively recover the fraction of clusters where feedback effects have been stronger, thus having a lower luminosity for their temperature (Bignamini et al. 2008), shallower profiles (Rykoff et al. 2008) and higher stellar-to-gas mass ratios (Dai et al. 2010) with respect to X-ray selected ones. The recently published early results of Planck SZ observations of galaxy clusters also agree with this scenario. Planck Collaboration et al. (2011a) presented a sample of massive SZ-detected clusters at intermediate redshift that are underluminous for their mass and have flatter density profiles with respect to X-ray selected ones. Moreover, Planck Collaboration et al. (2011b) found that the relation between the SZ signal Y500 (proportional to gas mass and temperature) and cluster richness N200 for objects in the MaxBCG cluster catalogue (Koester et al. 2007) has a lower normalization and larger scatter than expected, probably because of the presence of a population of X-ray underluminous clusters seen only in the optically selected catalogue. This scenario can only be confirmed by looking for evidence of evolved galaxy populations and signs of early formation epochs in distant, optically selected clusters that are discrepant with scaling relations measured in X-ray selected samples. If this hypothesis is correct, it will be necessary to adopt multiwalength strategies in detecting and analysing high-redshift clusters, both to study their formation and evolution and to constrain cosmological parameters from their mass function.

Fig. 6 Cluster ClG 0332-2747 in the M200 − L0.1−−2.4 keV plane, compared with the scaling relation estimated by Leauthaud et al. (2010) (continuos lines) and with clusters from the literature: Leauthaud et al. (2010) (COSMOS, red empty squares), Bergé et al. (2008) (CFHTLS, green), Hoekstra (2007) (CFH12k, blue), Rykoff et al. (2008) (SDSS, magenta): the black filled square is derived from the full galaxy sample, the green one from red-sequence members only. E(z) = H(z)/H0, all quantities were reported to the cosmology adopted in the present paper, Rykoff et al. (2008) masses were boosted by a factor 1.24 following Leauthaud et al. (2010). |
