The purpose of this work is to answer the question of "how have spatial distributions of components in galaxy clusters evolved over the history of the universe?". It is well known that galaxy clusters consist of dark matter, intergalactic hot gas, and galaxies, and that hot gas has an extended distribution and galaxy components show a morphology-density relation and the Butcher-Oemler effect. However, the origin of these cluster component distributions is still unknown. One simple interpretation is that galaxies have gradually fallen to the cluster centers, with evolution of their color and morphology. If this simple scenario is correct, the relative distributions of galaxies to hot gas should become centrally-concentrated toward lower redshifts. Our exploratory study suggests that galaxies are falling to the cluster center while hot gas is expanding with decreasing redshifts.
