Mapping the cold molecular gas in a cooling flow cluster: Abell 1795

P. Salome, F. Combes

Cold molecular gas is found in several clusters of galaxies (Edge, 2001, Salome' & Combes, 2003): single dish telescope observations in CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) emission lines have reve…

A library of galaxy mergers

F. Combes, A. -L. Melchior

We have undertaken a large series of numerical simulations with the goal to built a library of galaxy mergers (GALMER). Since the aim is to have more than a thousand of realisation…

Galaxy Formation and Baryonic Dark Matter

Francoise Combes

The CDM scenario to form galaxies encounters many problems when confronted with observations, namely the prediction of dark matter cusps in all galaxies, and in particular in dw…

Cold molecular gas in cooling flow clusters of galaxies

P. Salome, F. Combes

The results of a CO line survey in central cluster galaxies with cooling flows are presented. Cold molecular gas is detected with the IRAM 30m telescope, through CO(1-0) and CO(2-1…

Flat-Cored Dark Matter in Cuspy Clusters of Galaxies

Amr El-Zant, Yehuda Hoffman, Joel Primack +2

Sand, Treu, & Ellis (2002) have measured the central density profile of cluster MS2137-23 with gravitational lensing and velocity dispersion and removed the stellar contribution wi…

Efficiency of stripping mechanisms

F. Combes

There are several physical processes to remove gas from galaxies in clusters, with subsequent starvation and star formation quenching: tidal interactions between galaxies, or tidal…
