The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
ASTRO-H White Paper - Clusters of Galaxies and Related Science
T. Kitayama, M. Bautz, M. Markevitch +22
The next generation X-ray observatory ASTRO-H will open up a new dimension in the study of galaxy clusters by achieving for the first time the spectral resolution required to measu…
Simulating X-ray Observations with Python
John A. ZuHone, Veronica Biffi, Eric J. Hallman +3
X-ray astronomy is an important tool in the astrophysicist's toolkit to investigate high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Theoretical numerical simulations of astrophysical sources…
The Effect of Anisotropic Viscosity on Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters
J. A. ZuHone, M. W. Kunz, M. Markevitch +2
Cold fronts -- contact discontinuities in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters -- should be disrupted by Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instabilities due to the associated shea…
Testing Secondary Models for the Origin of Radio Mini-Halos in Galaxy Clusters
John ZuHone, Gianfranco Brunetti, Simona Giacintucci +1
We present an MHD simulation of the emergence of a radio minihalo in a galaxy cluster core in a "secondary" model, where the source of the synchrotron-emitting electrons is hadroni…
Mapping the particle acceleration in the cool core of the galaxy cluster RX J1720.1+2638
Simona Giacintucci, Maxim Markevitch, Gianfranco Brunetti +4
We present new deep, high-resolution radio images of the diffuse minihalo in the cool core of the galaxy cluster RX J1720.1+2638. The images have been obtained with the Giant Metre…
