We report the results of a deep ( ks) Chandra exposure of the globular cluster NGC 6540, obtained by combining three observations carried out in 2023-2024 to investigate…
The intracluster light analysis of the most evolved systems of galaxies: fossil groups
NÃcolas O. L. de Oliveira, Yolanda Jiménez-Teja, Renato A. Dupke +7
We present the analysis of the intracluster light (ICL) in three fossil groups (FG), RXJ085640.72+055347.36, RX J1136+0713, and RX J1410+4145, at z ~ 0.1. We used two optical broad…

SDSS-C4 3028 is a galaxy cluster at , notable for its unusually high fraction of star-forming galaxies with 19 star-forming and 11 quiescent spectroscopically-confirmed me…
Fifteen Years of M31* X-ray Variability and Flares
Stephen DiKerby, Shuo Zhang, Jimmy Irwin
We append an additional fifteen years (2009-2024) to the Chandra X-ray light curve of M31*, the supermassive black hole at the center of M31, the Andromeda galaxy. Extending and ex…
