A model-independent test of the evolution of gas depletion factor for SPT-SZ and Planck ESZ clusters

Abstract The gas mass fraction in galaxy clusters has been widely used to determine cosmological parameters. This method assumes that the ratio of the cluster gas mass fraction to the cosmic baryon fraction ( $$\gamma (z)$$ γ ( z ) ) is constant as a function of redshift. In this work, we look for a...
