A Powerful AGN Outburst in RBS 797
K. W. Cavagnolo, B. R. McNamara, M. W. Wise +4
Utilizing ks of Chandra X-ray Observatory imaging, we present an analysis of the intracluster medium (ICM) and cavity system in the galaxy cluster RBS 797. In addition to…
A relationship between AGN jet power and radio power
K. W. Cavagnolo, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +3
Using Chandra X-ray and VLA radio data, we investigate the scaling relationship between jet power, P_jet, and synchrotron luminosity, P_rad. We expand the sample presented in Birza…
Direct Evidence for Outflow of Metal-enriched Gas Along the Radio Jets of Hydra A
C. C. Kirkpatrick, M. Gitti, K. W. Cavagnolo +4
Using deep Chandra observations of the Hydra A galaxy cluster, we examine the metallicity structure near the central galaxy and along its powerful radio source. We show that the me…
A Chandra X-ray Analysis of Abell 1664: Cooling, Feedback and Star Formation in the Central Cluster Galaxy
C. C. Kirkpatrick, B. R. McNamara, D. A. Rafferty +6
The brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the Abell 1664 cluster is unusually blue and is forming stars at a rate of ~ 23 M_{\sun} yr^{-1}. The BCG is located within 5 kpc of the X-ray…
Intracluster Medium Entropy Profiles for a Chandra Archival Sample of Galaxy Clusters
Kenneth W. Cavagnolo, Megan Donahue, G. Mark Voit +1
We present radial entropy profiles of the intracluster medium (ICM) for a collection of 239 clusters taken from the Chandra X-ray Observatory's Data Archive. Entropy is of great in…
Conduction and the Star-Formation Threshold in Brightest Cluster Galaxies
G. M. Voit, K. W. Cavagnolo, M. Donahue +3
Current models of galaxy evolution suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei is needed to explain the high-luminosity cutoff in the galaxy luminosity function. Exactly how…
