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…
An Entropy Threshold for Strong H-alpha and Radio Emission in the Cores of Galaxy Clusters
Kenneth W. Cavagnolo, Megan Donahue, G. Mark Voit +1
Our Chandra X-ray Observatory archival study of intracluster entropy in a sample of 222 galaxy clusters shows that H-alpha and radio emission from the brightest cluster galaxy are…
Bandpass Dependence of X-ray Temperatures in Galaxy Clusters
Kenneth W. Cavagnolo, Megan Donahue, G. Mark Voit +1
We explore the band dependence of the inferred X-ray temperature of the intracluster medium (ICM) for 192 well-observed galaxy clusters selected from the Chandra Data Archive. If t…
