Outstanding Questions about Mergers in Clusters of Galaxies
Craig L. Sarazin
At the request of the organizers of the Santa Fe meeting on X-Ray and Radio Connections, I list some important questions and lines of inquiry for the future study of the X-ray and…
Mergers and Non-Thermal Processes in Clusters of Galaxies
Craig L. Sarazin
Clusters of galaxies generally form by the gravitational merger of smaller clusters and groups. Major cluster mergers are the most energetic events in the Universe since the Big Ba…
Mergers and Non-Thermal Processes in Clusters
Craig L. Sarazin
Clusters of galaxies generally form by the gravitational merger of smaller clusters and groups. Mergers drive shocks in the intracluster gas which heat the intracluster gas. Merger…
Merger Shocks and Nonthermal Processes in Clusters of Galaxies
Craig L. Sarazin
Clusters of galaxies generally form by the gravitational merger of smaller clusters and groups. Major cluster mergers are the most energetic events in the Universe since the Big Ba…
New Perspectives on Cooling Flows and Cluster Radio Sources
B. R. McNamara, M. W. Wise, L. P. David +2
We discuss new results from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton on cluster cooling flows, emphasizing early results from our Chandra programs. We find cooling rates reduce…
