Fossil group origins - VI. Global X-ray scaling relations of fossil galaxy clusters
A. Kundert, F. Gastaldello, E. D'Onghia +11
We present the first pointed X-ray observations of 10 candidate fossil galaxy groups and clusters. With these Suzaku observations, we determine global temperatures and bolometric X…
Fossil Groups Origins III. Characterization of the sample and observational properties of fossil systems
S. Zarattini, R. Barrena, M. Girardi +15
(Abridged) Fossil systems are group- or cluster-sized objects whose luminosity is dominated by a very massive central galaxy. In the current cold dark matter scenario, these object…
Fossil Groups Origins III. The relation between optical and X-ray luminosities
M. Girardi, J. A. L. Aguerri, S. De Grandi +11
This study is part of the FOssil Groups Origin (FOGO) project which aims at carrying out a systematic and multiwavelength study of a large sample of fossil systems. Here we focus o…
Fossil groups origins II. Unveiling the formation of the brightest group galaxies through their scaling relations
J. Mendez-Abreu, J. A. L. Aguerri, R. Barrena +11
(Abridged) Fossil systems are galaxy associations dominated by a relatively isolated, bright elliptical galaxy, surrounded by a group of smaller galaxies lacking L* objects. We ana…
Two fossil groups of galaxies at z~0.4 in the COSMOS: accelerated stellar-mass build-up, different progenitors
D. Pierini, S. Giodini, A. Finoguenov +12
We report on 2 fossil groups of galaxies at z=0.425 and 0.372 discovered in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) area. Selected as X-ray extended sources, they have total masses (M…
Fossil Groups Origins: I. RX J105453.3+552102 a very massive and relaxed system at z~0.5
J. A. L. Aguerri, M. Girardi, W. Boschin +11
The most accepted scenario for the origin of fossil groups (FGs) is that they are galaxy associations in which the merging rate was fast and efficient. These systems have assembled…
