Ram pressure stripping the hot gaseous halos of galaxies in groups and clusters
Ian G. McCarthy, Carlos S. Frenk, Andreea S. Font +5
We use a large suite of carefully controlled full hydrodynamic simulations to study the ram pressure stripping of the hot gaseous halos of galaxies as they fall into massive groups…
Towards a Holistic View of the Heating and Cooling of the Intracluster Medium
Ian G. McCarthy, Arif Babul, Richard G. Bower +1
(Abridged) X-ray clusters are conventionally divided into two classes: "cool core" (CC) clusters and "non-cool core" (NCC) clusters. Yet relatively little attention has been given…
The Sunyaev-Zeldovich Background
Gilbert Holder, Ian G. McCarthy, Arif Babul
The cosmic background due to the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect is expected to be the largest signal at mm and cm wavelengths at a resolution of a few arcminutes. We investigate som…
The impact of mergers on relaxed X-ray clusters - II. Effects on global X-ray and SZ properties and their scaling relations
Gregory B. Poole, Arif Babul, Ian G. McCarthy +4
We use the suite of simulations presented in Poole et al (2006) to examine global X-ray and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) observables for systems of merging relaxed X-ray clusters. In al…
Modelling Shock Heating in Cluster Mergers: I. Moving Beyond the Spherical Accretion Model
Ian G. McCarthy, Richard G. Bower, Michael L. Balogh +6
(Abridged) The thermal history of the intracluster medium (ICM) is complex. Heat input from cluster mergers, AGN, and galaxy winds offsets and may even halt the cooling of the ICM.…
