How do atomic code uncertainties affect abundance measurements in the intracluster medium?
F. Mernier, N. Werner, K. Lakhchaura +6
Accurate chemical abundance measurements of X-ray emitting atmospheres pervading massive galaxies, galaxy groups, and clusters provide essential information on the star formation a…
Observations of a Pre-Merger Shock in Colliding Clusters of Galaxies
Liyi Gu, Hiroki Akamatsu, Timothy W. Shimwell +10
Clusters of galaxies are the largest known gravitationally-bound structures in the Universe. When clusters collide, they create merger shocks on cosmological scales, which transfor…
Iron abundance distribution in the hot gas of merging galaxy clusters
I. Urdampilleta, F. Mernier, J. S. Kaastra +4
We present XMM-Newton/EPIC observations of six merging galaxy clusters and study the distributions of their temperature, iron (Fe) abundance and pseudo-entropy along the merging ax…
Solar chemical composition in the hot gas of cool-core ellipticals, groups, and clusters of galaxies
François Mernier, Norbert Werner, Jelle de Plaa +6
The hot intracluster medium (ICM) pervading galaxy clusters and groups is rich in metals, which were synthesised by billions of supernovae and have accumulated in cluster gravitati…
X-ray study of the double radio relic Abell 3376 with Suzaku
I. Urdampilleta, H. Akamatsu, F. Mernier +5
We present an X-ray spectral analysis of the nearby double radio relic merging cluster Abell 3376 ( = 0.046), observed with the XIS instrument. These deep (360 ks…
Mass-invariance of the iron enrichment in the hot haloes of massive ellipticals, groups, and clusters of galaxies
François Mernier, Jelle de Plaa, Norbert Werner +7
X-ray measurements find systematically lower Fe abundances in the X-ray emitting haloes pervading groups ( keV) than in clusters of galaxies. These results have been…
