Decoding the thermal history of the merging cluster Cygnus A

Anwesh Majumder, M. W. Wise, A. Simionescu +1

We report on a detailed spatial and spectral analysis of the large-scale X-ray emission from the merging cluster Cygnus A. We use 2.2 Ms Chandra and 40 ks XMM-Newton archival datas…

The duty cycle of radio-mode feedback in complete samples of clusters

L. Bîrzan, D. A. Rafferty, P. E. J. Nulsen +4

The Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed X-ray bubbles in the intracluster medium (ICM) of many nearby cooling flow clusters. The bubbles trace feedback that is thought to couple…

Multiphase Signatures of AGN Feedback in Abell 2597

G. R. Tremblay, C. P. O'Dea, S. A. Baum +18

We present new Chandra X-ray observations of the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the cool core cluster Abell 2597. The data reveal an extensive kpc-scale X-ray cavity network as…

Discovery of the correspondence between intra-cluster radio emission and a high pressure region detected through the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect

C. Ferrari, H. T. Intema, E. Orrù +9

We analyzed new 237 MHz and 614 MHz GMRT data of the most X-ray luminous galaxy cluster, RX J1347-1145. Our radio results are compared with the MUSTANG 90 GHz Sunyaev-Zel'dovich ef…

The Detectability of AGN Cavities in Cooling-Flow Clusters

L. Birzan, D. A. Rafferty, B. R. McNamara +2

Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed X-ray cavities in many nearby cooling flow clusters. The cavities trace feedback from the central active galactic nulceus (AGN) on the intrac…

Spitzer Mid-Infrared Spectra of Cool-Core Galaxy Clusters

G. E. de Messières, R. W. O'Connell, B. R. McNamara +4

We have obtained mid-infrared spectra of nine cool-core galaxy clusters with the Infrared Spectrograph aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. X-ray, ultraviolet and optical observatio…
