Deep Chandra observations of NGC 1404: cluster plasma physics revealed by an infalling early-type galaxy
Yuanyuan Su, Ralph P. Kraft, Elke Roediger +6
The intracluster medium (ICM), as a magnetized and highly ionized fluid, provides an ideal laboratory to study plasma physics under extreme conditions that cannot yet be achieved o…
Capturing the 3D Motion of an Infalling Galaxy via Fluid Dynamics
Yuanyuan Su, Ralph P. Kraft, Paul E. J. Nulsen +6
The Fornax Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. NGC 1404 is a bright elliptical galaxy falling through the intracluster medium of the Fornax Cluster. The shar…
Merger Hydrodynamics of the Luminous Cluster RXJ1347.5-1145
C. D. Kreisch, M. E. Machacek, C. Jones +1
We present an analysis of the complex gas hydrodynamics in the X-ray luminous galaxy cluster RXJ1347.5-1145 caught in the act of merging with a subcluster to its southeast using a…
Stripped elliptical galaxies as probes of ICM physics: II. Stirred, but mixed? Viscous and inviscid gas stripping of the Virgo elliptical M89
E. Roediger, R. P. Kraft, P. E. J. Nulsen +6
Elliptical galaxies moving through the intra-cluster medium (ICM) are progressively stripped of their gaseous atmospheres. X-ray observations reveal the structure of galactic tails…
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…
