Chandra temperature profiles for a sample of nearby relaxed galaxy clusters
A. Vikhlinin, M. Markevitch, S. S. Murray +3
We present Chandra gas temperature profiles at large radii for a sample of 13 nearby, relaxed galaxy clusters and groups, which includes A133, A262, A383, A478, A907, A1413, A1795,…
The 160 Square Degree ROSAT Survey - Revised Catalog & Cluster Evolution
Christopher Mullis, Brian McNamara, Hernan Quintana +6
We have constructed a large, statistically complete sample of galaxy clusters serendipitously detected as extended X-ray sources in 647 ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. The survey…
A High Angular Resolution View of Hot Gas in Clusters, Groups, and Galaxies
W. Forman, E. Churazov, L. David +6
We discuss two themes from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of galaxies, groups, and clusters. First, we review observational aspects of cluster formation and evolution as matte…
A High Resolution Picture of the Intracluster Gas
M. Markevitch, A. Vikhlinin, W. R. Forman
Chandra has significantly advanced our knowledge of the processes in the intracluster gas. The discovery of remarkably regular ``cold fronts'', or contact discontinuities, in mergi…
Galaxy Clusters with Chandra
W. Forman, C. Jones, M. Markevitch +2
We discuss Chandra results related to 1) cluster mergers and cold fronts and 2) interactions between relativistic plasma and hot cluster atmospheres. We describe the properties of…
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…
