Accretion shocks and cold filaments in galaxy formation
A generic expectation for gas accreted by high-mass haloes is that it is shock-heated to the virial temperature of the halo. In low-mass haloes, or at high redshift, however, the gas cooling rate is sufficiently rapid that an accretion shock is unlikely to form close to the virial radius. Instead, the accretion shock will form at smaller radii, perhaps close to the central galaxy. Semi-analytic...
متن کاملShocks and Cold Fronts in Galaxy Clusters
The currently operating X-ray imaging observatories provide us with an exquisitely detailed view of the Megaparsec-scale plasma atmospheres in nearby galaxy clusters. At z < 0.05, the Chandra’s 1 angular resolution corresponds to linear resolution of less than a kiloparsec, which is smaller than some interesting linear scales in the intracluster plasma. This enables us to study the previously u...
متن کاملHard X-ray Emission from Accretion Shocks around Galaxy Clusters
We show that the hard X-ray (HXR) emission observed from several galaxy clusters is naturally explained by a simple model, in which the nonthermal emission is produced by inverse Compton scattering of cosmic microwave background photons by electrons accelerated in cluster accretion shocks: The dependence of HXR surface brightness on cluster temperature is consistent with that predicted by the m...
متن کاملCosmic Walls and Filaments Formation in Modied Chaplygin Gas Cosmology
We want to study the perturbation growth of an initial seed of an ellipsoidal shape in Top-Hat collapse model of the structure formation in the Modied Chaplygin gas cosmology. Considering reasonable values of the constants and the parameters of the model under study, we can show that a very small deviation from spherical symmetry (ellipsoidal geometry) in the initial seed leads to a nal highly ...
متن کاملMonthly Notices : Radiative shocks in galaxy formation ( II ) 3
I use a 1-D Lagrangian code which follows both a gaseous and a dark component to study the effects of a metagalactic UV background on the formation of dwarf galaxies. In the case of an ionising background consistent with the existing observational constraints no effect has been found in halos with circular velocity above 60 km s −1. The effect is very mild in halos with 40 < V c < 60 km s −1 , ...
