Mid-Infrared Emission from Elliptical Galaxies: Sensitivity to Stellar Age
Pasquale Temi, Fabrizio Brighenti, William G. Mathews
Mid-infrared observations (3.6 - 24 microns) of normal giant elliptical galaxies with the Spitzer space telescope are consistent with pure populations of very old stars with no evi…
Baryonically Closed Galaxy Groups
W. G. Mathews, A. Faltenbacher, F. Brighenti +1
Elliptical galaxies and their groups having the largest L_x/L_B lie close to the locus in the L_x,L_B diagram expected for closed systems with baryon fractions equal to the cosmic…
Heating Cooling Flows with Weak Shock Waves
W. G. Mathews, A. Faltenbacher, F. Brighenti
The discovery of extended, approximately spherical weak shock waves in the hot intercluster gas in Perseus and Virgo has precipitated the notion that these waves may be the primary…
Dark-Matter Halos of Early-Type Galaxies
Philip J. Humphrey, David A. Buote, Fabio Gastaldello +4
Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation predict a universal form for the mass profile of dark matter (DM) halos from cluster to galaxy scales. Remarkably few interesting const…
Temperature and Dark Matter profiles of Galaxy Groups
F. Gastaldello, D. Buote, P. Humphrey +4
The Chandra and XMM data for a sample of 19 relaxed groups/poor clusters, covering the temperature range 1-3 keV and selected to have the best available data, reveal a remarkable s…
Thermal Evolution of Supernova Iron in Elliptical Galaxies
Fabrizio Brighenti, William G. Mathews
In explaining the relative metal abundances observed in galaxy groups and clusters, it is generally assumed that all metals created by supernovae are present either in visible star…
