Electron-Ion Equilibration in the Merging Galaxy Cluster A665

Christian Norseth, Daniel R. Wik, Craig L. Sarazin +2

Galaxy cluster mergers drive powerful shock fronts that heat the intracluster medium (ICM) and accelerate particles, redistributing the energy in a merger. A665 is one of only a fe…

Soft X-ray emission from warm gas in IllustrisTNG circum-cluster environments

Celine Gouin, Massimiliano Bonamente, Daniela Galarraga-Espinosa +2

Context. Whereas X-ray clusters are extensively used for cosmology, their idealistic modelling, through the hypotheses of spherical symmetry and hydrostatic equilibrium, are more a…
