Chandra Observations of the X-ray Jet in Centaurus A
R. P. Kraft, W. R. Forman, C. Jones +3
We present high angular resolution X-ray images and spectra from two {\em Chandra} ACIS-I observations of the X-ray jet in the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A. We find that the X-r…
Interaction of Radio Lobes with the Hot Intracluster Medium: Driving Convective Outflow in Hydra A
P. E. J. Nulsen, L. P. David, B. R. McNamara +3
The radio lobes of Hydra A lie within cavities surrounded by a rim of enhanced X-ray emission in the intracluster gas. Although the bright rim appears cooler than the surrounding g…
New Results from Chandra
W. Forman, M. Markevitch, C. Jones +2
We discuss two themes from Chandra observations of galaxies and clusters. First, we describe the effects of radio-emitting plasmas or ``bubbles'', inflated by active galactic nucle…
A Textbook Example of a Bow Shock in the Merging Galaxy Cluster 1E0657-56
M. Markevitch, A. H. Gonzalez, L. David +5
The Chandra image of the merging, hot galaxy cluster 1E0657-56 reveals a bow shock propagating in front of a bullet-like gas cloud just exiting the disrupted cluster core. This is…
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…
