The XXL survey XV: Evidence for dry merger driven BCG growth in XXL-100-GC X-ray clusters
S. Lavoie, J. P. Willis, J. Democles +33
The growth of brightest cluster galaxies is closely related to the properties of their host cluster. We present evidence for dry mergers as the dominant source of BCG mass growth a…

The XXL Survey: VI. The 1000 brightest X-ray point sources
S. Fotopoulou, F. Pacaud, S. Paltani +36
X-ray extragalactic surveys are ideal laboratories for the study of the evolution and clustering of active galactic nuclei (AGN). The XXL Survey spans two fields of a combined 50 $…

Constraining the efficiency of cosmic ray acceleration by cluster shocks
F. Vazza, M. Brueggen, D. Wittor +3
We study the acceleration of cosmic rays by collisionless structure formation shocks with ENZO grid simulations. Data from the FERMI satellite enable the use of galaxy clusters as…
