Indirect Measurements of Gas Velocities in Galaxy Clusters: Effects of Ellipticity and Cluster Dynamic State
Irina Zhuravleva, Mandy C. Chen, Eugene Churazov +3
While awaiting direct velocity measurement of gas motions in the hot intracluster medium, we rely on indirect probes, including gas perturbations in galaxy clusters. Using a sample…
Arithmetic with X-ray images of galaxy clusters: effective equation of state for small-scale perturbations in the ICM
E. Churazov, P. Arevalo, W. Forman +4
We discuss a novel technique of manipulating X-ray images of galaxy clusters to reveal the nature of small-scale density/temperature perturbations in the intra cluster medium (ICM)…
X-Ray surface brightness and gas density fluctuations in the Coma cluster
E. Churazov, A. Vikhlinin, I. Zhuravleva +6
X-ray surface brightness fluctuations in the core ( kpc) region of the Coma cluster observed with XMM-Newton and Chandra are analyzed using a 2D power spectrum appr…
A thermally stable heating mechanism for the intracluster medium: turbulence, magnetic fields and plasma instabilities
M. W. Kunz, A. A. Schekochihin, S. C. Cowley +2
We consider the problem of self-regulated heating and cooling in galaxy clusters and the implications for cluster magnetic fields and turbulence. Viscous heating of a weakly collis…
