What drives the corpulence of galaxies? I. The formation of central compact dwarf galaxies in TNG50

Abhner P. De Almeida, Gary A. Mamon, Avishai Dekel +1

Nearby dwarf galaxies display a variety of effective radii (sizes) at a given stellar mass, suggesting different evolution scenarios according to their final "stellar" size. The TN…

The fate of the gaseous disks of galaxies that fall into clusters

Rafael Ruggiero, Gastão B. Lima Neto

Galaxy clusters are known to induce gas loss in infalling galaxies due to the ram pressure exerted by the intracluster medium over their gas content. In this paper, we investigate…

Non-virialised clusters for detection of Dark Energy-Dark Matter interaction

Morgan Le Delliou, Rafael J. F. Marcondes, Gastao B. Lima Neto +1

The observation of galaxy and gas distributions, as well as cosmological simulations in a CDM Universe, suggests that clusters of galaxies are still accreting mass and are not e…

Structure in galaxy clusters

Gastao B. Lima Neto, Tatiana F. Lagana, Felipe Andrade-Santos +1

We will discuss here how structures observed in clusters of galaxies can provide us insight on the formation and evolution of these objects. We will focus primarily on X-ray observ…

The mass profile and dynamical status of the z~0.8 galaxy cluster LCDCS 0504

L. Guennou, A. Biviano, C. Adami +34

Constraints on the mass distribution in high-redshift clusters of galaxies are not currently very strong. We aim to constrain the mass profile, M(r), and dynamical status of the $z…

The merging cluster of galaxies Abell 3376: an optical view

Florence Durret, Clement Perrot, Gastao B. Lima Neto +3

Abell 3376 is a merging cluster of galaxies at redshift z=0.046, famous mostly for its giant radio arcs, and shows an elongated and highly substructured X-ray emission, but has not…

A comprehensive picture of baryons in groups and clusters of galaxies

T. F. Lagana, N. Martinet, F. Durret +3

(Abridged) Based on XMM-Newton, Chandra and SDSS data, we investigate the baryon distribution in groups and clusters and its use as a cosmological constraint. For this, we consider…
