High-resolution x-ray telescopes
S. L. O'Dell, R. J. Brissenden, W. N. Davis +21
High-energy astrophysics is a relatively young scientific field, made possible by space-borne telescopes. During the half-century history of x-ray astronomy, the sensitivity of foc…
Deep Chandra Observations of Edges and Bubbles in the NGC 5846 Galaxy Group
M. E. Machacek, D. Jerius, R. P. Kraft +5
We use a combined 120 ks Chandra exposure to analyze X-ray edges produced by non-hydrostatic gas motions (sloshing) from galaxy collisions, and cavities formed by AGN activity. Evi…
A small X-ray corona of the narrow-angle tail radio galaxy NGC 1265 soaring through the Perseus cluster
M. Sun, D. Jerius, C. Jones
A deep Chandra observation of NGC 1265 (3C 83.1B), the prototype for the narrow-angled-tailed (NAT) radio galaxy, reveals a small cool X-ray thermal corona (~ 0.6 keV) embedded in…
Bow shock and radio halo in the merging cluster A520
M. Markevitch, F. Govoni, G. Brunetti +1
Chandra observations of the merging galaxy cluster A520 reveal a prominent bow shock with M=2.1+0.4-0.3. This is only the second clear example of a substantially supersonic merger…
