The study aims to simulate the formation and evolution of galaxy clusters in a cold dark matter framework to understand their properties and dynamics.
Resimulated clusters selected from N-body models using a combined N-body/Smooth Particle hydrodynamics code at higher resolution.
Neglected the effects of radiative cooling on gas during simulation.
Analyzed density and temperature profiles of clusters, particularly regarding merging and equilibrium states.
Density profiles of equilibrium clusters show no uniform-density core and steepen outwards.
Temperature is nearly uniform in regions emitting most X-ray flux but drops at larger radii.
Significant variations in scaling relations between X-ray and dynamical properties suggest influences from non-gravitational processes.
