Cen A and its interaction with the x-ray emitting interstellar medium
D. M. Worrall, R. P. Kraft, M. Birkinshaw +4
As the closest radio galaxy, Centaurus A is a powerful laboratory for the X-ray study of radio-emitting structures and their interactions with the hot interstellar medium (ISM). Th…
The survival and destruction of X-ray coronae of early-type galaxies in the rich cluster environments: a case study of Abell 1367
M. Sun, A. Vikhlinin, W. Forman +2
A new Chandra observation of the northwest region of the galaxy cluster A1367 reveals four cool galaxy coronae (0.4 - 1.0 keV) embedded in the hot intracluster medium (ICM) (5 - 6…
Infall of the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1404 into the Fornax Cluster
M. Machacek, A. Dosaj, W. Forman +5
We use three Chandra observations, totalling 134.3 ks, to constrain the dynamical motion of NGC1404 falling towards the dominant elliptical NGC1399 through the Fornax ICM. NGC1404'…
Hot Gas Structure in the Elliptical Galaxy NGC 4472
B. A. Biller, C. Jones, W. R. Forman +2
We present X-ray spectroscopic and morphological analyses using Chandra ACIS and ROSAT observations of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472 in the Virgo cluster. We discuss previou…
ESO 3060170 -- a massive fossil galaxy group with a heated gas core?
M. Sun, W. Forman, A. Vikhlinin +3
We present a detailed study of the ESO 3060170 galaxy group combining Chandra, XMM and optical observations. The system is found to be a fossil galaxy group. The group X-ray emissi…
Evolution of the Cluster X-ray Luminosity Function
C. R. Mullis, A. Vikhlinin, J. P. Henry +6
We report measurements of the cluster X-ray luminosity function out to z=0.8 based on the final sample of 201 galaxy systems from the 160 Square Degree ROSAT Cluster Survey. There…
Reflections of AGN Outbursts in the Gaseous Atmosphere of M87
W. Forman, P. Nulsen, S. Heinz +7
We combined deep Chandra, ROSAT HRI, and XMM-Newton observations of M87 to study the impact of AGN outbursts on its gaseous atmosphere. Many X-ray features appear to be a direct re…
