Enrichment of the hot intracluster medium: numerical simulations
V. Biffi, F. Mernier, P. Medvedev
The distribution of chemical elements in the hot intracluster medium (ICM) retains valuable information about the enrichment and star formation histories of galaxy clusters, and on…
Enrichment of the hot intracluster medium: observations
F. Mernier, V. Biffi, H. Yamaguchi +7
Four decades ago, the firm detection of an Fe-K emission feature in the X-ray spectrum of the Perseus cluster revealed the presence of iron in its hot intracluster medium (ICM). Wi…
Athena X-IFU synthetic observations of galaxy clusters to probe the chemical enrichment of the Universe
E. Cucchetti, E. Pointecouteau, P. Peille +14
Answers to the metal production of the Universe can be found in galaxy clusters, notably within their Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM). The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) on board the…
Measuring turbulence and gas motions in galaxy clusters via synthetic Athena X-IFU observations
M. Roncarelli, M. Gaspari, S. Ettori +7
The X-ray Integral Field Unit (X-IFU) that will be on board the Athena telescope will provide an unprecedented view of the intracluster medium (ICM) kinematics through the observat…
Non-thermal pressure support in X-COP galaxy clusters
D. Eckert, V. Ghirardini, S. Ettori +13
Galaxy clusters are the endpoints of structure formation and are continuously growing through the merging and accretion of smaller structures. Numerical simulations predict that a…
AGN contamination of galaxy-cluster thermal X-ray emission: predictions for eRosita from cosmological simulations
V. Biffi, K. Dolag, A. Merloni
In this study, we present a modelling of the X-ray emission from the simulated SMBHs within the cosmological hydrodynamical Magneticum Pathfinder Simulation, in order to study the…
