X-ray Emission from Elliptical Galaxies
Craig L. Sarazin
Elliptical galaxies are generally luminous sources of X-ray radiation, and contain large amounts of hot, interstellar gas. In the brighter X-ray galaxies, the inferred masses of ho…
Cluster Cooling Flows: Recent Progress and Outstanding Questions
Craig L. Sarazin
Recent results on cluster cooling flows are reviewed. Observations of excess soft X-ray provides the only direct evidence for a major repository for the cooled gas. Unfortunately,…
High Resolution X-ray Spectra of Cluster Cooling Flows
Craig L. Sarazin
The cooling cores of clusters of galaxies are among the brightest thermal X-ray line sources in the universe. High resolution X-ray spectra would allow individual line fluxes to be…
ASCA Atlas of the Cluster Temperatures
M. L. Markevitch, C. L. Sarazin, M. J. Henriksen
We use ASCA data to obtain two-dimensional maps of the gas temperature in three clusters: A754, A3558 and Triangulum Australis (the maps of A2256, A2319, A2163 and A665, also prese…
