A Solar Mass Flow of Molecular Gas in the Abell 1835 Brightest Cluster Galaxy

B. R. McNamara, H. R. Russell, P. E. J. Nulsen +17

We report ALMA Early Science observations of the Abell 1835 brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the CO (3-2) and CO (1-0) emission lines. We detect of m…

A Ten Billion Solar Mass Outflow of Molecular Gas Launched by Radio Bubbles in the Abell 1835 Brightest Cluster Galaxy

B. R. McNamara, H. R. Russell, P. E. J. Nulsen +17

We report ALMA Early Science observations of the Abell 1835 brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the CO (3-2) and CO (1-0) emission lines. We detect 5E10 solar masses of molecular gas…

Anisotropic Metal-enriched Outflows Driven by AGN in Clusters of Galaxies

C. C. Kirkpatrick, B. R. McNamara, K. W. Cavagnolo

We present an analysis of the spatial distribution of metal-rich gas in ten galaxy clusters using deep observations from the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The brightest cluster galaxi…

Direct Evidence for Outflow of Metal-enriched Gas Along the Radio Jets of Hydra A

C. C. Kirkpatrick, M. Gitti, K. W. Cavagnolo +4

Using deep Chandra observations of the Hydra A galaxy cluster, we examine the metallicity structure near the central galaxy and along its powerful radio source. We show that the me…

A Chandra X-ray Analysis of Abell 1664: Cooling, Feedback and Star Formation in the Central Cluster Galaxy

C. C. Kirkpatrick, B. R. McNamara, D. A. Rafferty +6

The brightest cluster galaxy (BCG) in the Abell 1664 cluster is unusually blue and is forming stars at a rate of ~ 23 M_{\sun} yr^{-1}. The BCG is located within 5 kpc of the X-ray…

An Energetic AGN Outburst Powered by a Rapidly Spinning Supermassive Black Hole or an Accreting Ultramassive Black Hole

B. R. McNamara, F. Kazemzadeh, D. A. Rafferty +4

Powering the 10^62 erg nuclear outburst in the MS0735.6+7421 cluster central galaxy by accretion implies that its supermassive black hole (SMBH) grew by ~6x10^8 solar masses over t…
