Title: The concentration-mass relation of clusters of galaxies from the OmegaWINGS survey,
Abstract: The relation between a cosmological halo concentration and its mass (cMr) is
a powerful tool to constrain cosmological models of halo formation and
evolution. On the scale of galaxy clusters the cMr has so far been determined
mostly with X-ray and gravitational lensing data. The use of independent
techniques is helpful in assessing possible systematics. Here we provide one of
the few determinations of the cMr by the dynamical analysis of the
projected-phase-space distribution of cluster members. Based on the WINGS and
OmegaWINGS data sets, we used the Jeans analysis with the MAMPOSSt technique to
determine masses and concentrations for 49 nearby clusters, each of which has
~60 spectroscopic members or more within the virial region, after removal of
substructures. Our cMr is in statistical agreement with theoretical predictions
based on LambdaCDM cosmological simulations. Our cMr is different from most
previous observational determinations because of its flatter slope and lower
normalization. It is however in agreement with two recent cMr obtained using
the lensing technique on the CLASH and LoCuSS cluster data sets. In the future
we will extend our analysis to galaxy systems of lower mass and at higher
redshifts.
