On the Intracluster Medium in Cooling Flow & Non-Cooling Flow Clusters
Arif Babul, Ian G. McCarthy, Greg B. Poole
Recent X-ray observations have highlighted clusters that lack entropy cores. At first glance, these results appear to invalidate the preheated ICM models. We show that a self-consi…
The SZ Effect Signature of Excess Entropy in Distant, Massive Clusters
Ian G. McCarthy, Gilbert P. Holder, Arif Babul +1
Studies of cluster X-ray scaling relations have led to suggestions that non-gravitational processes, e.g., radiative cooling and/or "preheating", have significantly modified the en…
On the Relationship between Cooling Flows and Bubbles
Ian G. McCarthy, Arif Babul, Neal Katz +1
A common feature of the X-ray bubbles observed in Chandra images of some "cooling flow" clusters is that they appear to be surrounded by bright, cool shells. Temperature maps of a…
Cluster Sunyaev-Zeldovich Effect Scaling Relations
Ian G. McCarthy, Arif Babul, Gilbert P. Holder +1
X-ray observations of an "entropy floor" in nearby groups and clusters of galaxies offer evidence that important non-gravitational processes, such as radiative cooling and/or "preh…
