Cosmological Implications of Galaxy Cluster Evolution

John C. Tsai, David A. Buote

We analyze with hydrodynamical simulations the evolution of galaxy clusters in a cosmological environment. Power ratios (Buote \& Tsai 1995) are used to quantitatively relate clust…

Quantifying the Morphologies and Dynamical Evolution of Galaxy Clusters. II. Application to a Sample of ROSAT Clusters

David A. Buote, John C. Tsai

We quantify the morphologies and dynamical states of 59 galaxy clusters using the power-ratio technique of Buote & Tsai applied to ROSAT PSPC X-ray images. The clusters exhibit a p…

Interstellar Grains in Elliptical Galaxies: Grain Evolution

John C. Tsai, William G. Mathews

We consider the lifecycle of dust introduced into the hot interstellar medium in isolated elliptical galaxies. Dust grains are ejected into galactic-scale cooling flows in large el…

Quantifying the Morphologies and Dynamical Evolution of Galaxy Clusters. I. The Method

David A. Buote, John C. Tsai

We describe and test a method to quantitatively classify clusters of galaxies according to their projected morphologies. This method will be subsequently used to place constraints…

The Reliability of X-ray Constraints of Intrinsic Cluster Shapes

D. A. Buote, J. C. Tsai

Using the simulation of Katz & White we have tested the viability of X-ray analysis for constraining the intrinsic shapes of clusters of galaxies considering the effects of both su…
