A Chandra Study of the NGC7618/UGC12491 Major Group Merger at Apogee: Multiple Cold Fronts, Boxy Wings, Filaments, and Arc-shaped Slingshot Tails
Marie E. Machacek, Christine Jones, Ralph P. Kraft +4
Analyses of major group mergers are key to understanding the evolution of large-scale structure in the Universe and the microphysical properties of the hot gas in these systems. We…
Stripped elliptical galaxies as probes of ICM physics: III. Deep Chandra Observation of NGC 4552 - Measuring the Viscosity of the Intracluster Medium
Ralph Kraft, Elke Roediger, Marie Machacek +7
We present results from a deep (200 ks) Chandra observation of the early-type galaxy NGC 4552 (M89) which is falling into the Virgo cluster. Previous shallower X-ray observations o…
Deep Chandra observations of NGC 1404: cluster plasma physics revealed by an infalling early-type galaxy
Yuanyuan Su, Ralph P. Kraft, Elke Roediger +6
The intracluster medium (ICM), as a magnetized and highly ionized fluid, provides an ideal laboratory to study plasma physics under extreme conditions that cannot yet be achieved o…
Capturing the 3D Motion of an Infalling Galaxy via Fluid Dynamics
Yuanyuan Su, Ralph P. Kraft, Paul E. J. Nulsen +6
The Fornax Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. NGC 1404 is a bright elliptical galaxy falling through the intracluster medium of the Fornax Cluster. The shar…
Merger Hydrodynamics of the Luminous Cluster RXJ1347.5-1145
C. D. Kreisch, M. E. Machacek, C. Jones +1
We present an analysis of the complex gas hydrodynamics in the X-ray luminous galaxy cluster RXJ1347.5-1145 caught in the act of merging with a subcluster to its southeast using a…
NGC 5195 in M51: Feedback `Burps' after a Massive Meal?
Eric M. Schlegel, Christine Jones, Marie Machacek +1
We describe a double-arc-like X-ray structure lying ~15-30" (~0.8-1.7 kpc) south of the NGC 5195 nucleus visible in the merged exposures of long Chandra pointings of M51. The curva…
