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…

Exploring the dynamics of the Coma galaxy cluster by mapping its X-ray emission line profiles with XRISM

Kosei Sakai, Kazuhiro Nakazawa, Maxim Markevitch +17

The intracluster medium (ICM) in merging galaxy clusters exhibits turbulence and bulk flows. Unraveling these components is crucial not only for elucidating the geometry of the clu…

XRISM observations of the Perseus cluster along two arms: Chaotic ICM motions probed by resonant scattering

Annie Heinrich, Irina Zhuravleva, Congyao Zhang +13

XRISM has mapped gas velocities across the core of the Perseus cluster, separating the kinematic effects of mergers and AGN feedback. The physical properties of these motions remai…

Chemical enrichment of the Perseus cluster core seen by XRISM/Resolve

XRISM Collaboration, Marc Audard, Hisamitsu Awaki +143

The intracluster medium (ICM) is rich in chemical elements, produced by core-collapse (SNcc) and Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) over the last 12 Gyr. Whereas cluster outskirts are…

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM/Resolve reveals super-Solar abundance ratios in Virgo/M87

J. Martin, A. Simionescu, F. Mernier +26

The chemical composition of the intracluster medium (ICM) provides key insights into the enrichment history of galaxy clusters. However, high-resolution abundance measurements with…

X-ray evidence from NuSTAR for a Mach 3 shock in Merging Galaxy Cluster ZWCL 1856.8

Ayşegül Tümer, Christian T. Norseth, Daniel R. Wik

We present spectral analysis results of deeper (270 ks) NuSTAR observations of the merging galaxy cluster system, ZWCL1856.8+6616, at redshift z=0.304, following a pilot study usin…

A XRISM/Resolve view of the dynamics in the hot gaseous atmosphere of M87

XRISM Collaboration, M. Audard, H. Awaki +138

The XRISM/Resolve microcalorimeter directly measured the gas velocities in the core of the Virgo Cluster, the closest example of AGN feedback in a cluster. This proximity allows us…

Cross Calibration of Galaxy Cluster Temperatures Measured with NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, and Chandra

Fiona Lopez, Daniel R. Wik, Cicely Potter +10

The use of galaxy clusters to constrain cosmology is limited in part due to uncertainties in derived cluster masses, which often depend on the gas temperature. Unfortunately, there…

The NuSTAR View of Perseus: the ICM and a Peculiar Hard Excess

Samantha Creech, Daniel R. Wik, Steven Rossland +3

As the brightest galaxy cluster in the X-ray sky, Perseus is an excellent target for studying the Intracluster Medium (ICM), but until recently, its active galactic nucleus (AGN) m…

ZWCL 1856.8 : A rare double radio relic system captured within NuSTAR and Chandra field of view

Ayşegül Tümer, Daniel R. Wik, Gerrit Schellenberger +2

Observations of galaxy cluster mergers provide insights on the particle acceleration and heating mechanisms taking place within the intracluster medium. Mergers form shocks that pr…

The Hydrostatic Mass of A478: Discrepant Results From Chandra, NuSTAR, and XMM-Newton

Cicely Potter, Ayşegül Tümer, Qian H. S. Wang +3

Galaxy clusters are the most recently formed and most massive, gravitationally bound structures in the universe. The number of galaxy clusters formed is highly dependent on cosmolo…

NuSTAR Observations of Abell 665 and 2146: Constraints on Non-Thermal Emission

Randall Rojas Bolivar, Daniel Wik, Ayşegül Tümer +11

Observations from past missions such as RXTE and Beppo-SAX suggested the presence of inverse Compton (IC) scattering at hard X-ray energies within the intracluster medium of some m…

The NuSTAR and Chandra view of CL 0217+70 and Its Tell-Tale Radio Halo

Ayşegül Tümer, Daniel R. Wik, Xiaoyuan Zhang +11

Mergers of galaxy clusters are the most energetic events in the universe, driving shock and cold fronts, generating turbulence, and accelerating particles that create radio halos a…

The NuSTAR, XMM-Newton, and Suzaku view of A3395 at the intercluster filament interface

Aysegul Tumer, Daniel R. Wik, Massimo Gaspari +4

Galaxy clusters are the largest virialized objects in the universe. Their merger dynamics and their interactions with the cosmic filaments that connect them are important for our u…
