HST imaging of the dusty filaments and nucleus swirl in NGC4696 at the centre of the Centaurus Cluster

A. C. Fabian, S. A. Walker, H. R. Russell +14

Narrow-band HST imaging has resolved the detailed internal structure of the 10 kpc diameter H alpha+[NII] emission line nebulosity in NGC4696, the central galaxy in the nearby Cent…

Optical Emission Line Nebulae in Galaxy Cluster Cores 1: The Morphological, Kinematic and Spectral Properties of the Sample

S. L. Hamer, A. C. Edge, A. M. Swinbank +9

We present an Integral Field Unit survey of 73 galaxy clusters and groups with the VIsible Multi Object Spectrograph (VIMOS) on VLT. We exploit the data to determine the H gas d…

The X-ray luminous cluster underlying the z = 1.04 quasar PKS1229-021

H. R. Russell, A. C. Fabian, G. B. Taylor +5

We present a 100 ks Chandra observation studying the extended X-ray emission around the powerful z=1.04 quasar PKS1229-021. The diffuse cluster X-ray emission can be traced out to…

Riding the wake of a merging galaxy cluster

R. E. A. Canning, H. R. Russell, N. A. Hatch +7

Using WHT OASIS integral field unit observations, we report the discovery of a thin plume of ionised gas extending from the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2146 to the sub-cluste…

A deep spectroscopic study of the filamentary nebulosity in NGC4696, the brightest cluster galaxy in the Centaurus cluster

R. E. A. Canning, A. C. Fabian, R. M. Johnstone +4

We present results of deep integral field spectroscopy observations using high resolution optical (4150-7200 A) VIMOS VLT spectra, of NGC 4696, the dominant galaxy in the Centaurus…

A wide Chandra view of the core of the Perseus cluster

A. C. Fabian, J. S. Sanders, S. W. Allen +12

We present new Chandra images of the X-ray emission from the core of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. The total observation time is now 1.4 Ms. New depressions in X-ray surface bri…
