SZ-X-ray Surface Brightness Fluctuations in the SPT-XMM clusters

Charles Romero, Massimo Gaspari, Gerrit Schellenberger +10

The hot plasma in galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM), is expected to be shaped by subsonic turbulent motions, which are key for heating, cooling, and transport mechanis…
