X-ray Cool Core Remnants Heated by Strong Radio AGN Feedback

Wenhao Liu, Ming Sun, G. Mark Voit +6

Strong AGN heating provides an alternative means for the disruption of cluster cool cores (CCs) to cluster mergers. In this work we present a systematic Chandra study of a sample o…

NuSTAR Observations of Abell 665 and 2146: Constraints on Non-Thermal Emission

Randall Rojas Bolivar, Daniel Wik, Ayşegül Tümer +11

Observations from past missions such as RXTE and Beppo-SAX suggested the presence of inverse Compton (IC) scattering at hard X-ray energies within the intracluster medium of some m…

A detached double X-ray tail in the merging galaxy cluster Z8338 with a large double tail

Chong Ge, Ming Sun, Paul E. J. Nulsen +3

When subhalos infall into galaxy clusters, their gas content is ram pressure stripped by the intracluster medium (ICM) and may turn into cometary tails. We report the discovery of…

Turbulence in the Tail of a Jellyfish Galaxy

Yuan Li, Rongxin Luo, Matteo Fossati +2

When galaxies move through the intracluster medium (ICM) inside galaxy clusters, the ram pressure of the ICM can strip the gas from galaxies. The stripped gas forms tails on the tr…

Line Emission Mapper (LEM): Probing the physics of cosmic ecosystems

Ralph Kraft, Maxim Markevitch, Caroline Kilbourne +107

The Line Emission Mapper (LEM) is an X-ray Probe for the 2030s that will answer the outstanding questions of the Universe's structure formation. It will also provide transformative…

Non-star-forming molecular gas in the Abell 1367 intra-cluster multiphase orphan cloud

Pavel Jáchym, Ming Sun, Masafumi Yagi +7

We report the detection of CO emission in the recently discovered multiphase isolated gas cloud in the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 1367. The cloud is located about 800 kpc in proje…
