The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
ASTRO-H White Paper - Clusters of Galaxies and Related Science
T. Kitayama, M. Bautz, M. Markevitch +22
The next generation X-ray observatory ASTRO-H will open up a new dimension in the study of galaxy clusters by achieving for the first time the spectral resolution required to measu…
Comment on "Dark matter searches going bananas: the contribution of Potassium (and Chlorine) to the 3.5 keV line"
Esra Bulbul, Maxim Markevitch, Adam R. Foster +3
The recent paper by Jeltema & Profumo(2014) claims that contributions from \ion{K}{18} and \ion{Cl}{17} lines can explain the unidentified emission line found by Bulbul et al 2014…
The Effect of Anisotropic Viscosity on Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters
J. A. ZuHone, M. W. Kunz, M. Markevitch +2
Cold fronts -- contact discontinuities in the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters -- should be disrupted by Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instabilities due to the associated shea…
Testing Secondary Models for the Origin of Radio Mini-Halos in Galaxy Clusters
John ZuHone, Gianfranco Brunetti, Simona Giacintucci +1
We present an MHD simulation of the emergence of a radio minihalo in a galaxy cluster core in a "secondary" model, where the source of the synchrotron-emitting electrons is hadroni…
Mapping the particle acceleration in the cool core of the galaxy cluster RX J1720.1+2638
Simona Giacintucci, Maxim Markevitch, Gianfranco Brunetti +4
We present new deep, high-resolution radio images of the diffuse minihalo in the cool core of the galaxy cluster RX J1720.1+2638. The images have been obtained with the Giant Metre…
