The role of the artificial conductivity in SPH simulations of galaxy clusters: effects on the ICM properties
Veronica Biffi, Riccardo Valdarnini
We study the thermal structure of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) in a set of cosmological hydrodynamical cluster simulations performed with an SPH numerical scheme employing an art…
The Overlooked Potential of Generalized Linear Models in Astronomy - I: Binomial Regression
R. S. de Souza, E. Cameron, M. Killedar +6
Revealing hidden patterns in astronomical data is often the path to fundamental scientific breakthroughs; meanwhile the complexity of scientific inquiry increases as more subtle re…
Simulating X-ray Observations with Python
John A. ZuHone, Veronica Biffi, Eric J. Hallman +3
X-ray astronomy is an important tool in the astrophysicist's toolkit to investigate high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Theoretical numerical simulations of astrophysical sources…
The Effect of Anisotropic Viscosity on Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters
J. A. ZuHone, M. W. Kunz, M. Markevitch +2
Cold fronts -- contact discontinuities in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters -- should be disrupted by Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instabilities due to the associated shea…
The MUSIC of Galaxy Clusters II: X-ray global properties and scaling relations
Veronica Biffi, Federico Sembolini, Marco De Petris +3
We present the X-ray properties and scaling relations of a large sample of clusters extracted from the Marenostrum MUltidark SImulations of galaxy Clusters (MUSIC) dataset. We focu…
