The Growth and Enrichment of the Intragroup Gas
Lichen Liang, Fabrice Durier, Arif Babul +5
The thermal and chemical properties of the hot diffuse intragroup medium (IGrM) provide important constraints on the feedback processes associated with massive galaxy formation and…
The regulation of star formation in cool-core clusters: imprints on the stellar populations of brightest cluster galaxies
S. I. Loubser, A. Babul, H. Hoekstra +4
A fraction of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) shows bright emission in the UV and the blue part of the optical spectrum, which has been interpreted as evidence of recent star for…
LoCuSS: Testing hydrostatic equilibrium in galaxy clusters
G. P. Smith, P. Mazzotta, N. Okabe +17
We test the assumption of hydrostatic equilibrium in an X-ray luminosity selected sample of 50 galaxy clusters at from the Local Cluster Substructure Survey (LoCuSS).…
LoCuSS: The slow quenching of star formation in cluster galaxies and the need for pre-processing
C. P. Haines, M. J. Pereira, G. P. Smith +8
We present a study of the spatial distribution and kinematics of star-forming galaxies in 30 massive clusters at 0.15<z<0.30, combining wide-field Spitzer 24um and GALEX NUV imagin…
Diffuse coronae in cosmological simulations of Milky Way-sized galaxies
Aleksandra Sokołowska, Lucio Mayer, Arif Babul +2
We investigate the properties of halo gas using three cosmological `zoom-in' simulations of realistic Milky Way-galaxy analogs with varying sub-grid physics. In all three cases, th…
Cool core cycles: Cold gas and AGN jet feedback in cluster cores
Deovrat Prasad, Prateek Sharma, Arif Babul
Using high-resolution 3-D and 2-D (axisymmetric) hydrodynamic simulations in spherical geometry, we study the evolution of cool cluster cores heated by feedback-driven bipolar acti…
The Canadian Cluster Comparison Project: detailed study of systematics and updated weak lensing masses
Henk Hoekstra, Ricardo Herbonnet, Adam Muzzin +4
Masses of clusters of galaxies from weak gravitational lensing analyses of ever larger samples are increasingly used as the reference to which baryonic scaling relations are compar…
