Galaxy clusters as probes for cosmology and dark matter

Elia S. Battistelli, Carlo Burigana, Paolo de Bernardis +8

In recent years, significant progress has been made in building new galaxy clusters samples, at low and high redshifts, from wide-area surveys, particularly exploiting the Sunyaev-…

A critical assessment of the metal content of the ICM

S. Molendi, D. Eckert, S. De Grandi +5

Our goal is to provide a robust estimate of the metal content of the ICM in massive clusters. We make use of published abundance profiles for a sample of ~60 nearby systems, we inc…

The structure of Abell 1351: a bimodal galaxy cluster with peculiar diffuse radio emission

R. Barrena, M. Girardi, W. Boschin +2

We aim to review the internal structure and dynamics of the Abell 1351 cluster, shown to host a radio halo with a quite irregular shape. Our analysis is based on radial velocity da…

The gas distribution in the outer regions of galaxy clusters

D. Eckert, F. Vazza, S. Ettori +7

We present the analysis of a local (z = 0.04 - 0.2) sample of 31 galaxy clusters with the aim of measuring the density of the X-ray emitting gas in cluster outskirts. We compare ou…

Cold fronts in cool core clusters

S. Ghizzardi, S. Molendi, M. Rossetti +1

Cold fronts have been detected both in merging and in cool core clusters, where little or no sign of a merging event is present. A systematic search of sharp surface brightness dis…

A cluster in a crowded environment: XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of A3558

M. Rossetti, S. Ghizzardi, S. Molendi +1

Combining XMM-Newton and Chandra data, we have performed a detailed study of Abell 3558. Our analysis shows that its dynamical history is more complicated than previously thought.…
