Metallicity map of the galaxy cluster A3667

L. Lovisari, W. Kapferer, S. Schindler +1

We use XMM-Newton data of the merging cluster Abell 3667 to analyze its metallicity distribution. A detailed abundance map of the central 1.1x1.1 Mpc region indicates that metals a…

On the influence of ram-pressure stripping on the star formation of simulated spiral galaxies

T. Kronberger, W. Kapferer, C. Ferrari +2

We investigate the influence of ram-pressure stripping on the star formation and the mass distribution in simulated spiral galaxies. Special emphasis is put on the question where t…

Observations of extended radio emission in clusters

C. Ferrari, F. Govoni, S. Schindler +2

We review observations of extended regions of radio emission in clusters; these include diffuse emission in `relics', and the large central regions commonly referred to as `halos'.…

A2163: Merger events in the hottest Abell galaxy cluster I. Dynamical analysis from optical data

S. Maurogordato, A. Cappi, C. Ferrari +7

We present a detailed optical analysis of the galaxy cluster A2163 based on new multicolor wide field imaging and medium-to-high resolution (R~2000) spectroscopy. While X-ray obser…

Star formation in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 3921

C. Ferrari, S. Maurogordato, L. Feretti +5

Through a combined optical and radio analysis, we have investigated the possible connection between the dynamical state of the merging cluster A3921 and its star formation properti…

Simulations of galactic winds and starbursts in galaxy clusters

W. Kapferer, C. Ferrari, W. Domainko +7

We present an investigation of the metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) by galactic winds and merger-driven starbursts. We use combined N-body/hydrodynamic simulation…
