Understanding entropy in massive halos: The role of baryon decoupling
S. Molendi, M. Balboni, I. Bartalucci +8
The goal of the work presented in this paper is to use observed entropy profiles to infer constraints on the accretion process in massive halos. We compare entropy profiles from va…
Metal enrichment: the apex accretor perspective
S. Molendi, S. Ghizzardi, S. De Grandi +7
Aims. The goal of this work is to devise a description of the enrichment process in large-scale structure that explains the available observations and makes predictions for future…
Deep Chandra observations of the stripped galaxy group falling into Abell 2142
D. Eckert, M. Gaspari, M. S. Owers +8
In the local Universe, the growth of massive galaxy clusters mainly operates through the continuous accretion of group-scale systems. The infalling group in Abell 2142 is the poste…
Where does the gas fueling star formation in BCGs originate?
S. Molendi, P. Tozzi, M. Gaspari +4
We investigate the relationship between X-ray cooling and star formation in brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). We present an X-ray spectral analysis of the inner regions, 10-40 kpc…
A textbook example of ram-pressure stripping in the Hydra A/A780 cluster
S. De Grandi, D. Eckert, S. Molendi +7
In the current epoch, one of the main mechanisms driving the growth of galaxy clusters is the continuous accretion of group-scale halos. In this process, the ram pressure applied b…
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…
