Chandra's View of the Ram Pressure Stripped Galaxy M86
S. Randall, P. Nulsen, W. R. Forman +4
We present results from a mosaic of nine Chandra observations of M86 and the surrounding field. We detect three main diffuse components: the Virgo ICM at ~2.4 keV, the extended hal…
The Impact of Galaxy Cluster Mergers on Cosmological Parameter Estimation from Surveys of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect
Daniel R. Wik, Craig L. Sarazin, Paul M. Ricker +1
Sensitive surveys of the Cosmic Microwave Background will detect thousands of galaxy clusters via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect. Two SZ observables, the central or maximum and…
Constraints on the Self-Interaction Cross-Section of Dark Matter from Numerical Simulations of the Merging Galaxy Cluster 1E 0657-5
Scott W. Randall, Maxim Markevitch, Douglas Clowe +2
(Abridged) We compare recent results from X-ray, strong lensing, weak lensing, and optical observations with numerical simulations of the merging galaxy cluster 1E0657-56. X-ray ob…
Catching a bullet: direct evidence for the existence of dark matter
D. Clowe, S. W. Randall, M. Markevitch
We present X-ray and weak lensing observations of the merging cluster system 1E0657-556. Due to the recently collision of a merging subcluster with the main cluster, the X-ray plas…
A direct empirical proof of the existence of dark matter
Douglas Clowe, Marusa Bradac, Anthony H. Gonzalez +4
We present new weak lensing observations of 1E0657-558 (z=0.296), a unique cluster merger, that enable a direct detection of dark matter, independent of assumptions regarding the n…
Strong and weak lensing united III: Measuring the mass distribution of the merging galaxy cluster 1E0657-56
Marusa Bradac, Douglas Clowe, Anthony H. Gonzalez +7
The galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 (z = 0.296) is remarkably well-suited for addressing outstanding issues in both galaxy evolution and fundamental physics. We present a reconstruction o…
