The mystery of the 'Kite' radio source in Abell 2626: insights from new Chandra observations

A. Ignesti, M. Gitti, G. Brunetti +3

We present the results of a new Chandra study of the galaxy cluster A2626. The radio emission of the cluster shows a complex system of four symmetric arcs without known correlation…

Using Strong Gravitational Lensing to Identify Fossil Group Progenitors

Lucas E. Johnson, Jimmy A. Irwin, Raymond E. White +5

Fossil galaxy systems are classically thought to be the end result of galaxy group/cluster evolution, as galaxies experiencing dynamical friction sink to the center of the group po…

The multiwavelength spectrum of NGC 3115: Hot accretion flow properties

Ivan Almeida, Rodrigo Nemmen, Ka-Wah Wong +2

NGC 3115 is the nearest galaxy hosting a billion solar mass black hole and is also a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (LLAGN). X-ray observations of this LLAGN are able to sp…
