Cosmological Shocks in Adaptive Mesh Refinement Simulations and the Acceleration of Cosmic Rays
Samuel W. Skillman, Brian W. O'Shea, Eric J. Hallman +2
We present new results characterizing cosmological shocks within adaptive mesh refinement N-Body/hydrodynamic simulations that are used to predict non-thermal components of large-s…
Why Do Only Some Galaxy Clusters Have Cool Cores?
Jack O. Burns, Eric J. Hallman, Brennan Gantner +2
Flux-limited X-ray samples indicate that about half of rich galaxy clusters have cool cores. Why do only some clusters have cool cores while others do not? In this paper, cosmologi…
The Santa Fe Light Cone Simulation Project: I. Confusion and the WHIM in Upcoming Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Surveys
Eric J. Hallman, Brian W. O'Shea, Jack O. Burns +3
We present the first results from a new generation of simulated large sky coverage (~100 square degrees) Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) cluster surveys using the cosmological adapt…
Ruling the Universe: An Improved Method for Measuring H_0 with Galaxy Clusters
Eric J. Hallman, Jack O. Burns, Patrick M. Motl +1
Withdrawn at the current time due to errors.
Challenges for Precision Cosmology with X-ray and Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Gas Mass Measurements of Galaxy Clusters
Eric J. Hallman, Patrick M. Motl, Jack O. Burns +1
We critically analyze the measurement of galaxy cluster gas masses, which is central to cosmological studies that rely on the galaxy cluster gas mass fraction. Using synthetic obse…
The Integrated Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect as the Superior Method for Measuring the Mass of Clusters of Galaxies
Patrick M. Motl, Eric J. Hallman, Jack O. Burns +1
We investigate empirical scaling relations between the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) and cluster mass in simulated clusters of galaxies. The simulated clusters have been c…
