The gravitational potential is generated by both the galaxies and the X-ray emitting gas (ICM). When a dynamical analysis is performed, taking into account the luminous component only, the Dynamical unseen Mass (Mu dyn) depending on the relative concentration, is quite different from the actual or true unseen mass (Mu t). Masses are given in unit of Mg
