A ROBUST QUANTIFICATION OF GALAXY CLUSTER MORPHOLOGY USING ASYMMETRY AND CENTRAL CONCENTRATION

We present a novel quantitative scheme of cluster classification based on the morphological properties that are manifested in X-ray images. We use a conventional radial surface brightness concentration parameter (c [subscript SB]) as defined previously by others and a new asymmetry parameter, which...
