Spectroscopic-Like Temperature of Clusters of Galaxies and Cosmological Implications
P. Mazzotta, E. Rasia, S. Borgani +3
The thermal properties of hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters are usually compared to observations by relying on the emission-weighted temperature T_ew, instead of on the…
The Faint X-ray Source Population Near the 3C 295 cluster
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, M. Elvis +5
We present a statistical analysis of the Chandra observation of the source field around the 3C 295 galaxy cluster (z=0.46). Three different methods of analysis, namely a chip by ch…
Development of Hydrodynamic Instability in the Intergalactic Medium of the Merging Cluster of Galaxies A3667
Pasquale Mazzotta, Alexey Vikhlinin, Roberto Fusco-Femiano +1
A3667, a spectacular merger cluster, was observed by Chandra twice. In this paper we review the main results of the analysis of these observations. In particular we show evidence f…
Chandra Observations of Cold Fronts in Cluster of Galaxies
P. Mazzotta, M. Markevitch, A. Vikhlinin +1
High-resolution Chandra images of several clusters of galaxies reveal sharp, edge-like discontinuities in their gas density. The gas temperature is higher in front of the edge wher…
Chandra Observation of MS 1455.0+2232: cold fronts in a massive cooling flow cluster?
P. Mazzotta, M. Markevitch, W. R. Forman +3
We present the Chandra observation of the cluster of galaxies MS 1455.0+2232. From previous ASCA and ROSAT observations, this cluster was identified as a ``relaxed'' cluster that h…
Clusters of galaxies among ROSAT blank field sources
I. Cagnoni, M. Elvis, D. -W. Kim +3
We present here an efficient method for selecting high luminosity and massive high redshift clusters of galaxies, crucially important tools in cosmology. By selecting bright and ex…
