The SRG/eROSITA All-Sky Survey. The Weak-Lensing Mass Calibration and the Stellar Mass-to-Halo Mass Relation from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program
Abstract: We present the weak-lensing mass calibration of 124 galaxy clusters and groups at redshift $0.1<z<0.8$ in the first Data Release of the $eROSITA$ All-Sky Survey ($eRASS1$) and constrain their BCG stellar-mass-to-halo-mass-and-redshift relation, using the data sets from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program. The cluster survey is conducted by the $eROSITA$ X-ray telescope aboard the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma space observatory. The cluster sample is X-ray-selected and optically confirmed with a negligibly low contamination rate. On a basis of individual clusters, the shear profiles of $96$ clusters are derived using the HSC Three-Year weak-lensing data, while the BCG stellar masses $M_{\star,\mathrm{BCG}}$ of $101$ clusters are estimated using the SED template fitting to the HSC five-band photometry. The count rate ($C_{\mathrm{R}}-M-z$) and BCG stellar mass ($M_{\star,\mathrm{BCG}}-M-z$) relations are simultaneously constrained in a population modelling. The $C_{\mathrm{R}}-M-z$ relation reveals a mass trend of $\propto M{1.50{+0.20}_{-0.30}}$, which is steeper than the self-similar prediction, and no deviation from the self-similar redshift scaling. We obtain the power-law indices of the mass ($B_{\mathrm{BCG}} = 0.25{+0.11}_{-0.15}$) and redshift ($\gamma_{\mathrm{BCG}} = 0.87{+0.92}_{-0.78}$) scaling for the $M_{\star,\mathrm{BCG}}-M-z$ relation, and find a strong degeneracy between them. By adopting an informative prior on $\gamma_{\mathrm{BCG}}$ to break the degeneracy, we obtain a statistically consistent $M_{\star,\mathrm{BCG}}-M-z$ relation. Our results suggest that the BCG stellar mass at a fixed halo mass has remained stable with a moderate increase since redshift $z\approx0.8$. This finding supports the picture of the ``rapid-then-slow'' BCG formation, where the majority of the stellar mass must have been assembled at much earlier cosmic time.
