Do Cluster Cooling Flows Survive Head-on Galaxy Cluster Mergers?
P. L. Gomez, C. Loken, K. Roettiger +1
We report the results of recent numerical simulations of the head-on merger of a cooling flow cluster with an infalling subcluster of galaxies. These simulations examined the effec…
A Prediction of Observable Rotation in the ICM of Abell 3266
Kurt Roettiger, Ricardo Flores
We present a numerical Hydro+N-body model of A3266 whose X-ray surface brightness, temperature distribution, and galaxy spatial and velocity distribution data are consistent with t…
A Cluster Merger and the Origin of the Extended Radio Emission in Abell 3667
K. Roettiger, J. O. Burns, J. M. Stone
We present a numerical model for the extended steep-spectrum radio sources and the elongated X-ray structure in A3667 based on new 3-dimensional MHD/N-body simulations. The X-ray a…
Magnetic Field Evolution in Merging Clusters of Galaxies
K. Roettiger, J. M. Stone, J. O. Burns
We present initial results from the first 3-dimensional numerical magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of magnetic field evolution in merging clusters of galaxies. Within the fr…
RXTE Hard X-ray Observation of A754: Constraining the Hottest Temperature Component and the Intracluster Magnetic Field
A. Valinia, M. J. Henriksen, M. Loewenstein +3
Abell 754, a cluster undergoing merging, was observed in hard X-rays with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in order to constrain its hottest temperature component and search…
Anatomy of a Merger: A Numerical Model of A754
Kurt Roettiger, James M. Stone, Richarch F. Mushotzky
A754 is a well-observed cluster of galaxies which exhibits a variety of morphological peculiarities. These include a bar of X-ray emission that is offset significantly from the gal…
