Thermal and Nonthermal Effects of Merger Shocks in Clusters of Galaxies
Craig L. Sarazin
Cluster mergers drive shocks into the intracluster medium which heat and compress the thermal gas. X-ray observations of shocks can be used to determine the geometry and kinematics…

Models for the Relativistic Electron Population and Nonthermal Emission in Clusters of Galaxies
Craig L. Sarazin
Models for the integrated relativistic electron population in clusters of galaxies are presented. The results depend on the history of electron acceleration in the cluster. If ther…

X-ray Absorption Due to Cold Gas in Cluster Cooling Cores
Michael W. Wise, Craig L. Sarazin
We have calculated the emergent X-ray properties for models of cluster cooling flows including the effects of accumulated cooled material. The opacity of this cooled gas can reduce…
