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…
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…
Cosmic Rays Masquerading as Cool Cores: An Inverse-Compton Origin for Cool Core Cluster Emission
Philip F. Hopkins, Eliot Quataert, Emily M. Silich +3
X-ray bright cool-core (CC) clusters contain luminous radio sources accelerating cosmic ray (CR) leptons at prodigious rates. Near the acceleration region, high-energy leptons prod…
