Shaping the X-ray spectrum of galaxy clusters with AGN feedback and turbulence

M. Gaspari

The hot plasma filling galaxy clusters emits copious X-ray radiation. The classic unheated and unperturbed cooling flow model predicts dramatic cooling rates and an isobaric X-ray…

Unifying X-ray Scaling Relations from Galaxies to Clusters

Michael E. Anderson, Massimo Gaspari, Simon D. M. White +2

We examine a sample of "locally brightest galaxies" selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to be central galaxies within their dark matter halos. These were prev…

The stripping of a galaxy group diving into the massive cluster A2142

D. Eckert, S. Molendi, M. Owers +7

Structure formation in the current Universe operates through the accretion of group-scale systems onto massive clusters. The detection and study of such accreting systems is crucia…

Chaotic cold accretion on to black holes in rotating atmospheres

M. Gaspari, F. Brighenti, P. Temi

Chaotic cold accretion (CCA) profoundly differs from classic black hole accretion models. Using 3D high-resolution simulations, we probe the impact of rotation on the hot and cold…

The relation between gas density and velocity power spectra in galaxy clusters: qualitative treatment and cosmological simulations

I. Zhuravleva, E. Churazov, A. A. Schekochihin +6

We address the problem of evaluating the power spectrum of the velocity field of the ICM using only information on the plasma density fluctuations, which can be measured today by C…

The relation between gas density and velocity power spectra in galaxy clusters: high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations and the role of conduction

M. Gaspari, E. Churazov, D. Nagai +2

Exploring the ICM power spectrum can help us to probe the physics of galaxy clusters. Using high-resolution 3D plasma simulations, we study the statistics of the velocity field and…

Can AGN feedback break the self-similarity of galaxies, groups, and clusters?

M. Gaspari, F. Brighenti, P. Temi +1

It is commonly thought that AGN feedback can break the self-similar scaling relations of galaxies, groups, and clusters. Using high-resolution 3D hydrodynamic simulations, we isola…
