the expected scaling is YSZ∝σ4.76(we assume that
M100∝M500). The right panels of Figure 2 shows this
predicted slope (dashed lines).
The bisector of the least-squares fits to the data has
a slope of 2 .94±0.74, significantly shallower than the
predicted slope of 4.8.
We recompute the velocity dispersions σp,Afor all
galaxies within one Abell radius (2.14 Mpc) and in-
side the caustics. Surprisingly, the correlation is slightly
stronger (99.4% confidence level). This result supports
the idea that velocity dispersions computed within a
fixedphysicalradiusretainstrongcorrelationswith other
cluster observables, even though we measure the velocity
dispersion inside different fractions of the virial radius
for clusters of different masses. Because cluster veloc-
ity dispersions decline with radius (e.g. Rines et al. 2003;
Rines & Diaferio 2006), σp,Amay be smaller than σp,100
(measured within r100,c) for low-mass clusters, perhaps

ative to the ratio σp,100). Future cluster surveys with
enough redshifts to estimate velocity dispersions but too
few to perform a caustic analysis should still be sufficient
for analyzing scaling relations.
Because of random errors in the mass estimation, the
virial mass and the caustic mass within a given radius
do not necessarily coincide. Therefore, the radius r100
depends on the mass estimator used. Figure 2 shows
the scaling relationsfor two estimated masses M100,cand

The bisector of the least-squares fits has a slope of
1.11±0.16, again significantly shallower than the pre-
dicted slope of 1.6. This discrepancy has two distinct
origins. By looking at the distribution of the SZE sig-
nals in Figure 2, we see that, at a given velocity disper-
sion or mass, the SZE signals have a scatter which is a
factor of ∼2. Alternatively, at fixed SZE signal, there
is a scatter of a factor of ∼2 in estimated virial mass.
Unless the observational uncertainties are significantly
underestimated, the data show substantial intrinsic scat-
ter. Moreover, this scatter is comparable to the range of
our sample and, therefore, the error on the slope derived
from our least-squares fit to the data is likely to be un-
derestimated (see Andreon & Hurn 2010, for a detailed
discussionofaBayesianapproachtofittingrelationswith
measurement uncertainties and intrinsic scatter in both
quantities).4 Rines, Geller, & Diaferio
