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 State of the Warm and Cold Gas in the Extreme Starburst at the Core of the Phoenix Galaxy Cluster (SPT-CLJ2344-4243)
Michael McDonald, A. M. Swinbank, Alastair C. Edge +9
[Abridged] We present new optical integral field spectroscopy (Gemini South) and submillimeter spectroscopy (Submillimeter Array) of the central galaxy in the Phoenix cluster (SPT-…
Radiative efficiency, variability and Bondi accretion onto massive black holes: from mechanical to quasar feedback in brightest cluster galaxies
H. R. Russell, B. R. McNamara, A. C. Edge +3
We examine unresolved nuclear X-ray sources in 57 brightest cluster galaxies to study the relationship between nuclear X-ray emission and accretion onto supermassive black holes (S…
On the hunt for ultramassive black holes in brightest cluster galaxies
J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, A. C. Fabian, A. C. Edge +1
We investigate where brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) sit on the fundamental plane of black hole (BH) activity, an established relation between the X-ray luminosity, the radio lum…
Extreme AGN feedback in the Massive Cluster Survey (MACS): a detailed study of X-ray cavities at z > 0.3
J. Hlavacek-Larrondo, A. C. Fabian, A. C. Edge +4
We present the first statistical study of X-ray cavities in distant clusters of galaxies (z > 0.3). With the aim of providing further insight into how AGN feedback operates at high…
