A 70 kpc X-ray tail in the cluster A3627
M. Sun, C. Jones, W. Forman +3
We present the discovery of a 70 kpc X-ray tail behind the small late-type galaxy ESO137-001 in the nearby, hot (T=6.5 keV) merging cluster A3627, from both Chandra and XMM observa…
Entropy Profiles in the Cores of Cooling Flow Clusters of Galaxies
Megan Donahue, Donald J. Horner, Kenneth W. Cavagnolo +1
The X-ray properties of a relaxed cluster of galaxies are determined primarily by its gravitational potential well and the entropy distribution of its intracluster gas. That entrop…
An analytic investigation of the scatter in the integrated X-ray properties of galaxy groups and clusters
Michael L. Balogh, Arif Babul, G. Mark Voit +4
(Abridged) We revisit the scaling relationships between the dark matter mass and observed X-ray luminosity and temperature of galaxy clusters and groups in the local Universe. Spec…
An Observationally Motivated Framework for AGN Heating of Cluster Cores
G. Mark Voit, Megan Donahue
The cooling-flow problem is a long-standing puzzle that has received considerable recent attention, in part because the mechanism that quenches cooling flows in galaxy clusters is…
Two Clusters with Radio-quiet Cooling Cores
Megan Donahue, G. Mark Voit, Christopher P. O'Dea +2
Radio lobes inflated by active galactic nuclei at the centers of clusters are a promising candidate for halting condensation in clusters with short central cooling times because th…
Entropy amplification from energy feedback in simulated galaxy groups and clusters
S. Borgani, A. Finoguenov, S. T. Kay +4
We use hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters and groups to study the effect of pre-heating on the entropy structure of the ICM. Our simulations account for non-gravitationa…
