Baryon Distribution in Galaxy Clusters as a Result of Sedimentation of Helium Nuclei

Bo Qin, Xiang-Ping Wu

Heavy particles in galaxy clusters tend to be more centrally concentrated than light ones according to the Boltzmann distribution. An estimate of the drift velocity suggests that i…

Virialization of Galaxy Clusters and Beyond

Wen Xu, Li-Zhi Fang, Xiang-Ping Wu

Using samples of structures identified by a multi-scale decomposition from numerical simulation, we analyze the scale-dependence of the virialization of clusters. We find that beyo…

Can the jet steepen the light curves of GRB afterglow?

D. M. Wei, T. Lu

Beaming of relativistic ejecta in GRBs has been postulated by many authors in order to reduce the total GRB energy, thus it is very important to look for the observational evidence…
