Close-up view of an ongoing merger between the NGC 4839 group and the Coma cluster - a post-merger scenario
N. Lyskova, E. Churazov, C. Zhang +5
We study a merger of the NGC 4839 group with the Coma cluster using X-ray observations from the XMM-Newton and Chandra telescopes. X-ray data show two prominent features: (i) a lon…
The Infall of the Virgo Elliptical Galaxy M60 toward M87 and the Gaseous Structures Produced by Kelvin-Helmholtz Instabilities
R. A. Wood, C. Jones, M. E. Machacek +6
We present Chandra observations of hot gas structures, characteristic of gas stripping during infall, in the Virgo cluster elliptical galaxy M60 (NGC4649) located Mpc east of M…
Stripped elliptical galaxies as probes of ICM physics: I. Tails, wakes, and flow patterns in and around stripped ellipticals
E. Roediger, R. P. Kraft, P. E. J. Nulsen +6
Elliptical cluster galaxies are progressively stripped of their atmospheres due to their motion through the intra-cluster medium (ICM). Deep X-ray observations reveal the fine-stru…
Star formation in shocked cluster spirals and their tails
E. Roediger, M. Brüggen, M. S. Owers +2
Recent observations of ram pressure stripped spiral galaxies in clusters revealed details of the stripping process, i.e., the truncation of all interstellar medium (ISM) phases and…
Viscous Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in highly ionised plasmas
E. Roediger, R. P. Kraft, P. Nulsen +4
Transport coefficients in highly ionised plasmas like the intra-cluster medium (ICM) are still ill-constrained. They influence various processes, among them the mixing at shear flo…
Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities at the sloshing cold fronts in the Virgo cluster as a measure for the effective ICM viscosity
E. Roediger, R. P. Kraft, W. R. Forman +2
Sloshing cold fronts (CFs) arise from minor merger triggered gas sloshing. Their detailed structure depends on the properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM): hydrodynamical simu…
