The star-forming past and quenching of brightest cluster galaxies in TNG-Cluster

Sunna Gottschewski, Joey Braspenning, Annalisa Pillepich +2

The Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs) in the most massive galaxy clusters of our Universe are, at present, mostly quiescent, elliptical, and red. However, their formation histories…

Magnetic fields in the intracluster medium with TNG-Cluster: properties, morphology, and tangential anisotropy

Katrin Lehle, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Dylan Nelson +2

We characterize the magnetic field properties of 352 massive galaxy clusters from the TNG-Cluster magnetohydrodynamical cosmological simulation with a focus on central magnetic fie…

What Drives Cluster Cool-Core Transformations? A Population Level Analysis of TNG-Cluster

Katrin Lehle, Dylan Nelson, Annalisa Pillepich

In this study, we examine the frequency and physical drivers of transformations from cool-core (CC) to non-cool-core (NCC) clusters, and vice versa, in a sample of 352 massive gala…

The heart of galaxy clusters: demographics and physical properties of cool-core and non-cool-core halos in the TNG-Cluster simulation

Katrin Lehle, Dylan Nelson, Annalisa Pillepich +2

We analyze the physical properties of the gaseous intracluster medium (ICM) at the center of massive galaxy clusters with TNG-Cluster, a new cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simu…
