The galaxy cluster ABELL 2029 (z ~ 0.07) is studied under the assumptions of hydrostatic equilibrium and spherical symmetry. Under these assumptions, the mass distribution can be obtained from the de-projected and spectrally-determined X-Ray Emission Measure and the kbT profile. Results indicate a temperature profile that rises with radius, whereas the density profile appears to be consistent with a spherical distribution of emitting gas. From these results, we estimate a mass of M = 6.4 1013h0-1M&sun; for this cluster, which is consistent with recent studies.
L'amas galactique ABELL 2029 (z ~ 0.07) est étudié avec les hypothèses de l'équilibre hydrostatique et de la symétrie sphérique. Ces hypothèses supposent que la distribution de masse peut être obtenue à partir des mesures retroprojetées et déterminées spectralement des émissions en rayons X, ainsi que de la courbe kbT. Les résultats montrent une courbe de température croissante en fonction du rayon, alors que la densité semble reproduire une distribution sphérique d'un gaz rayonnant. A partir de ces résultats nous avons estimé la masse de l'amas à M = 6.4 1013h0-1M&sun;, ce qui est en accord avec les estimations récentes.
