Heating Hot Atmospheres with Active Galactic Nuclei
B. R. McNamara, P. E. J. Nulsen
High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of so…
Jet Interactions with the Hot Halos of Clusters and Galaxies
B. R. McNamara, L. Birzan, D. A. Rafferty +3
X-ray observations of cavities and shock fronts produced by jets streaming through hot halos have significantly advanced our understanding of the energetics and dynamics of extraga…
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…
