Star Formation in Cluster Cooling Flows
B. R. McNamara
New X-ray observations from the {\it Chandra} and XMM-{\it Newton} observatories have shown that cooling of the intracluster medium is occurring at rates that are now approaching t…
The 160 Square Degree ROSAT Survey - Revised Catalog & Cluster Evolution
Christopher Mullis, Brian McNamara, Hernan Quintana +6
We have constructed a large, statistically complete sample of galaxy clusters serendipitously detected as extended X-ray sources in 647 ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. The survey…
Clusters of Galaxies at Sharp Focus: Cooling Flows and Radio Sources Unveiled by Chandra
B. R. McNamara
Chandra images of galaxy clusters have revealed a wealth of structure unseen by previous generations of low resolution X-ray observatories. In the cores of clusters, bright, irregu…
X-ray Structure in Cluster Cooling Flows and Its Relationship to Star Formation and Powerful Radio Sources
B. R. McNamara
Analyses of Chandra's first images of cooling flow clusters find smaller cooling rates than previously thought. Cooling may be occurring preferentially near regions of star formati…
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…
Evolution of the cluster X-ray luminosity function from the WARPS survey
L. R. Jones, H. Ebeling, C. Scharf +5
The evolution of the X-ray luminosity function of clusters of galaxies has been measured to z=0.85 using over 150 X-ray selected clusters found in the WARPS survey. We find no evid…
