Chemical Composition of the Intracluster Medium
Michael Loewenstein
Clusters of galaxies are massive enough to be considered representative samples of the Universe, and to retain all of the heavy elements synthesized in their constituent stars. Sin…
Groups and the Entropy Floor- XMM-Newton Observations of Two Groups
R. Mushotzky, E. Figueroa-Feliciano, M. Loewenstein +1
Using XMM-Newton spatially resolved X-ray imaging spectroscopy we obtain the temperature, density, entropy, gas mass, and total mass profiles for two groups of galaxies out to ~0.3…
The Nature of Dark Matter in Elliptical Galaxies: Chandra X-ray Observatory Observations of NGC 4636
M. Loewenstein, R. Mushotzky
We determine the total enclosed mass profile from 0.7 to 35 kpc in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4636 based on the hot interstellar medium temperature profile measured using the Chandr…
Dark Matter and Metal Abundances in Elliptical Galaxies from X-ray Observations of the Hot ISM
Michael Loewenstein
I review the results of recent analysis and interpretation of X-ray observations of elliptical galaxies, focusing on elemental abundances and dark matter. The hot ISM is characteri…
Are Elliptical Galaxies Really Metal-Rich?
Michael Loewenstein, Richard Mushotzky
We review estimates of the metallicities in elliptical galaxies, with an emphasis on recent results from the ASCA satellite. X-ray spectra of elliptical galaxies are adequately fit…
Reply to ``Roles of SNIa and SNII in ICM Enrichment'' by Y. Ishimaru and N. Arimoto
Michael Loewenstein, Richard Mushotzky
We address a number of misunderstandings and misstatements contained in the paper ``Roles of SNIa and SNII in ICM Enrichment'' by Y. Ishimaru and N. Arimoto with regard to the pape…
