A Comparison of Metal Enrichment Histories in Rich Clusters and Individual Luminous Elliptical Galaxies
Fabrizio Brighenti, William G. Mathews
Hot, X-ray emitting gaseous halos around massive elliptical galaxies are a result of both stellar mass loss and inflow toward the overdensity from which giant ellipticals and their…

Evolution of Hot Gas and Dark Halos in Group-Dominant Elliptical Galaxies: Influence of Cosmic Inflow
Fabrizio Brighenti, William G. Mathews
We study the complete dynamical evolution of hot interstellar gas in massive elliptical galaxies born into a simple flat universe beginning with an overdense perturbation. Within t…

Cosmological and Environmental Influences on Hot Gas Observed in Elliptical Galaxies
William G. Mathews, Fabrizio Brighenti
The variation of temperature and density in the hot, X-ray emitting gas around massive, group dominant elliptical galaxies can be understood as a combination of gas ejected from ev…
