Shocks and cold fronts in galaxy clusters
Maxim Markevitch, Alexey Vikhlinin
Table of contents (abridged): COLD FRONTS Origin and evolution of merger cold fronts Cold fronts in cluster cool cores . . . Simulations of gas sloshing. Origin of density disconti…
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,…
Dying Radio Galaxies In Clusters
M. Murgia, P. Parma, H. R. de Ruiter +2
We report the recent discovery of three `dying' radio galaxies belonging to the WENSS minisurvey sample: WNB1734+6407, WNB1829+6911 and WNB1851+5707. These sources have been select…
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…
