Planck Constraints on Turbulence in the Coma Cluster
Baptiste Sigal, Etienne Pointecouteau, Nicolas Clerc +6
Turbulence within the intracluster medium (ICM) influences galaxy cluster thermodynamics and virialisation, contributing to non-thermal pressure support and impacting hydrostatic m…
CHEX-MATE: towards a consistent universal pressure profile and cluster mass reconstruction
M. Muñoz-EcheverrÃa, E. Pointecouteau, G. W. Pratt +31
In a self-similar paradigm of structure formation, the thermal pressure of the hot intra-cluster gas follows a universal distribution once the profile of each cluster is normalised…
Toward mapping turbulence in the intracluster medium IV. Using NewAthena/X-IFU and simulation based inference to constrain turbulence
Alexeï Molin, Simon Dupourqué, Nicolas Clerc +3
Context. The NewAthena mission planned for launch in the late 2030s will carry X-IFU, an integral field unit spectrometer that will obtain unique insight into the X-ray hot univers…
The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
