X-ray scaling relations of early-type galaxies

Iu. V. Babyk, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +5

X-ray luminosity, temperature, gas mass, total mass, and their scaling relations are derived for 94 early-type galaxies using archival X-ray Observatory observations. Con…

A Universal Entropy Profile for the Hot Atmospheres of Galaxies and Clusters within

Iu. V. Babyk, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +4

We present atmospheric gas entropy profiles for 40 early type galaxies and 110 clusters spanning several decades of halo mass, atmospheric gas mass, radio jet power, and galaxy typ…

The Origin of Molecular Clouds In Central Galaxies

F. A. Pulido, B. R. McNamara, A. C. Edge +6

We present an analysis of 55 central galaxies in clusters and groups with molecular gas masses and star formation rates lying between and $M_{…

The Onset of Thermally Unstable Cooling from the Hot Atmospheres of Giant Galaxies in Clusters - Constraints on Feedback Models

M. T. Hogan, B. R. McNamara, F. Pulido +7

We present accurate mass and thermodynamic profiles for a sample of 56 galaxy clusters observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We investigate the effects of local gravitationa…

Mass Distribution in Galaxy Cluster Cores

M. T. Hogan, B. R. McNamara, F. Pulido +5

Many processes within galaxy clusters, such as those believed to govern the onset of thermally unstable cooling and AGN feedback, are dependent upon local dynamical timescales. How…

A Mechanism for Stimulating AGN Feedback by Lifting Gas in Massive Galaxies

B. R. McNamara, H. R. Russell, P. E. J. Nulsen +4

Observation shows that nebular emission, molecular gas, and young stars in giant galaxies are associated with rising X-ray bubbles inflated by radio jets launched from nuclear blac…
