Radio Properties of Cavities in the ICM: Imprints of AGN Activity
L. Birzan, B. R. McNamara, C. L. Carilli +2
We present new, high resolution radio images of sources associated with cD galaxies and X-ray cavity systems located in cluster cores. The cavity properties derived from archival C…
The Growth of Black Holes and Bulges at the Cores of Cooling Flows
D. A. Rafferty, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +1
Central cluster galaxies (cDs) in cooling flows are growing rapidly through gas accretion and star formation. At the same time, AGN outbursts fueled by accretion onto supermassive…
X-ray Supercavities in the Hydra A Cluster and the Outburst History of the Central Galaxy's Active Nucleus
M. W. Wise, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +2
A 227 ksec Chandra Observatory X-ray image of the hot plasma in the Hydra A cluster has revealed an extensive cavity system. The system was created by a continuous outflow or a ser…
AGN Heating through Cavities and Shocks
P. E. J. Nulsen, C. Jones, W. R. Forman +5
Three comments are made on AGN heating of cooling flows. A simple physical argument is used to show that the enthalpy of a buoyant radio lobe is converted to heat in its wake. Thus…
Spitzer Observations of the Brightest Galaxies in X-ray-Luminous Clusters
E. Egami, K. A. Misselt, G. H. Rieke +13
We have studied the infrared properties of the brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) located in the cores of X-ray-luminous clusters at 0.15 < z < 0.35. The majority of the BCGs are no…
