The impact of mergers on relaxed X-ray clusters - III. Effects on compact cool cores
Gregory B. Poole, Arif Babul, Ian G. McCarthy +2
(Abridged) We use the simulations presented in Poole et al. 2006 to examine the effects of mergers on compact cool cores in X-ray clusters. We propose a scheme for classifying the…
The impact of mergers on relaxed X-ray clusters - II. Effects on global X-ray and SZ properties and their scaling relations
Gregory B. Poole, Arif Babul, Ian G. McCarthy +4
We use the suite of simulations presented in Poole et al (2006) to examine global X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) observables for systems of merging relaxed X-ray clusters. In al…
The Faint End of the Luminosity Function in the Core of the Coma Cluster
M. L. Milne, C. J. Pritchet, G. B. Poole +4
We present optical measurements of the faint end of the luminosity function in the core of the Coma cluster. Dwarf galaxies are detected down to a limiting magnitude of R approx. 2…
The impact of mergers on relaxed X-ray clusters - I. Dynamical evolution and emergent transient structures
Gregory B. Poole, Mark A. Fardal, Arif Babul +3
We report on the analysis of a suite of SPH simulations (incorporating cooling and star formation) of mergers involving idealised X-ray clusters whose initial conditions resemble r…
Models of the ICM with Heating and Cooling: Explaining the Global and Structural X-ray Properties of Clusters
Ian G. McCarthy, Michael L. Balogh, Arif Babul +2
(Abridged) Theoretical models that include only gravitationally-driven processes fail to match the observed mean X-ray properties of clusters. As a result, there has recently been…
On the Intracluster Medium in Cooling Flow & Non-Cooling Flow Clusters
Arif Babul, Ian G. McCarthy, Greg B. Poole
Recent X-ray observations have highlighted clusters that lack entropy cores. At first glance, these results appear to invalidate the preheated ICM models. We show that a self-consi…
