A Massive, Cooling-Flow-Induced Starburst in the Core of a Highly Luminous Galaxy Cluster

M. McDonald, M. Bayliss, B. A. Benson +83

In the cores of some galaxy clusters the hot intracluster plasma is dense enough that it should cool radiatively in the cluster's lifetime, leading to continuous "cooling flows" of…
