Scientific paper

The application of galaxy clusters in constraining cosmological models is currently mostly limited by our uncertain knowledge of scaling relations of easy observables and cluster mass. Most of the scaling relation studies are based on X-ray flux limited samples. Here we propose to take a new approach to study galaxy cluster properties in a volume-limited sample. From the comparison of flux and volume-limited samples we would be able to determine the intrinsic scatter of scaling relations in an unambiguous way, providing an important advance in cluster cosmology studies. Apart from the cosmological application, the volume-limited survey of nearby clusters will also provide a great benchmark sample for all aspects of characterizing the properties of the cluster population.
