Astro2020 Science White Paper: A Unification of the Micro and Macro Physics in the Intracluster Medium of Nearby Clusters
Y. Su, R. Kraft, E. Roediger +9
Clusters of galaxies are the most massive virialized structures in the Universe. The microphysical properties of the intracluster plasma can affect dynamical processes over an enor…
A New Class of X-Ray Tails of Early-Type Galaxies and Subclusters in Galaxy Clusters - Slingshot Tails vs Ram Pressure Stripped Tails
Alex Sheardown, Thomas M. Fish, Elke Roediger +11
We show that there is a new class of gas tails - slingshot tails - which form as a subhalo (i.e. a subcluster or early-type cluster galaxy) moves away from the cluster center towar…
The Recent Growth History of the Fornax Cluster Derived from Simultaneous Sloshing and Gas Stripping: Simulating the Infall of NGC 1404
Alex Sheardown, Elke Roediger, Yuanyuan Su +7
We derive the recent growth history of the Fornax Cluster, in particular the recent infall of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 1404. We show, using a simple cluster minor merger sim…
Gas sloshing regulates and records the evolution of the Fornax Cluster
Yuanyuan Su, Paul E. J. Nulsen, Ralph P. Kraft +7
We present results of a joint {\sl Chandra} and {\sl XMM-Newton} analysis of the Fornax Cluster, the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. Signatures of merger-induced gas sl…
Stripped elliptical galaxies as probes of ICM physics: III. Deep Chandra Observation of NGC 4552 - Measuring the Viscosity of the Intracluster Medium
Ralph Kraft, Elke Roediger, Marie Machacek +7
We present results from a deep (200 ks) Chandra observation of the early-type galaxy NGC 4552 (M89) which is falling into the Virgo cluster. Previous shallower X-ray observations o…
