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…

Herschel photometry of brightest cluster galaxies in cooling flow clusters

A. C. Edge, J. B. R. Oonk, R. Mittal +24

The dust destruction timescales in the cores of clusters of galaxies are relatively short given their high central gas densities. However, substantial mid-infrared and sub-mm emiss…

Herschel observations of FIR emission lines in brightest cluster galaxies

A. C. Edge, J. B. R. Oonk, R. Mittal +24

The question of how much gas cools in the cores of clusters of galaxies has been the focus of many, multiwavelength studies in the past 30 years. In this letter we present the firs…
