On the relation between mini-halos and AGN feedback in clusters of galaxies

A. Richard-Laferrière, J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, R. S. Nemmen +10

A variety of large-scale diffuse radio structures have been identified in many clusters with the advent of new state-of-the-art facilities in radio astronomy. Among these diffuse r…

Thermally Unstable Cooling Stimulated by Uplift: The Spoiler Clusters

C. G. Martz, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +9

We analyzed Chandra X-ray observations of five galaxy clusters whose atmospheric cooling times, entropy parameters, and cooling time to free-fall time ratios within the central gal…

Ubiquitous cold and massive filaments in cool core clusters

V. Olivares, P. Salomé, F. Combes +20

Multi-phase filamentary structures around Brightest Cluster Galaxies are likely a key step of AGN-feedback. We observed molecular gas in 3 cool cluster cores: Centaurus, Abell S110…

X-ray scaling relations of early-type galaxies

Iu. V. Babyk, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +5

X-ray luminosity, temperature, gas mass, total mass, and their scaling relations are derived for 94 early-type galaxies using archival X-ray Observatory observations. Con…

A Universal Entropy Profile for the Hot Atmospheres of Galaxies and Clusters within

Iu. V. Babyk, B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen +4

We present atmospheric gas entropy profiles for 40 early type galaxies and 110 clusters spanning several decades of halo mass, atmospheric gas mass, radio jet power, and galaxy typ…

The most massive black holes on the Fundamental Plane of Black Hole Accretion

M. Mezcua, J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, J. R. Lucey +3

We perform a detailed study of the location of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) on the fundamental plane of black hole (BH) accretion, which is an empirical correlation between a…
