Exemplary Merging Clusters II: XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray Observations of MACS J1752.0+4440 and ZwCl 1856.8+6616
K. HyeongHan, K. Finner, W. Lee +10
Using deep XMM-Newton and Chandra observations, we compare the double-radio-relic galaxy cluster mergers MACS J1752.0+4440 and ZwCl 1856.8+6616. Both are 1:1 mass-ratio mergers wit…
The Virgo Cluster as a Case Study for Ancient Cosmic Ray Halos in Radio and X-rays
Philip F. Hopkins, Emily M. Silich, Jack Sayers +2
Virgo is the nearest cool core (CC) galaxy cluster, and is archetypal of the class of X-ray weak CCs. Despite the X-ray continuum implying a large cooling rate ($\gtrsim 10\,{\rm M…
An Inverse-Compton-Boosted Cool Core Unifies Perseus's Radio and X-ray Halos
Philip F. Hopkins, Emily M. Silich, Jack Sayers +2
Perseus is the brightest X-ray strong cool-core (SCC) cluster, with a bright central radio and -ray source plus low-frequency radio mini and giant halos. It is the archetype of…
ICM-SHOX III. The case of MACS J0018.5+1626, a radio relic that looks like a radio halo?
P. Domínguez-Fernández, J. A. ZuHone, E. M. Silich +9
We present the first detailed numerical modeling of the radio emission from MACS J0018.5+1626 as part of the Improved Constraints on Mergers with SZ, Hydrodynamical simulations, Op…
Observational Implications of Cosmic Ray-Inverse Compton 'Boosted' Cool Cores in Clusters
Philip F. Hopkins, Emily Silich, Jack Sayers +2
X-ray luminous cool-core (CC) galaxy clusters contain powerful cosmic ray (CR) sources. High-energy CRs powering GHz synchrotron lose energy rapidly, but long-lived (~Gyr-old) popu…
Exploring a Cosmic-Ray Inverse-Compton Origin to the SZ-to-X-Ray Pressure Deficit in the Cool Core Cluster ZwCl 3146
Emily M. Silich, Jack Sayers, Philip F. Hopkins +4
We explore the possibility that inverse-Compton (IC) scattering of cosmic microwave background photons by GeV cosmic rays (CRs) injected by the central active galactic nucleu…
Strong Evidence for Cosmic Ray-Supported L Galaxy Halos via X-ray \& tSZ Constraints
Sam B. Ponnada, Philip F. Hopkins, Yue Samuel Lu +3
Many state-of-the-art galaxy simulations featuring traditional feedback modes have significant challenges producing enough extended soft X-ray ( keV) emission at R $\si…
Measuring the Temperature of Extremely Hot Shock-Heated Gas in the Major Merger MACS J0717.5+3745 With Relativistic Corrections to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect
Benjamin J. Vaughan, Jack Sayers, Locke Spencer +10
The conversion of gravitational potential to kinetic energy results in an intracluster medium (ICM) gas with a characteristic temperature near 10 keV in the most massive galaxy clu…
