On conduction , cooling flows and galaxy formation
On the basis of the universal gas fraction in clusters of galaxies, we estimate that the effective thermal conductivity required to balance radiative cooling in the cores, where the gas temperature is 3–10 keV, is about one tenth of the Spitzer rate. This confirms that thermal conduction can be important for the energy balance provided that it is not highly suppressed by magnetic fields in the ...
متن کاملMagnetic Fields and Cosmic Rays in Galaxy Cluster Cooling Flows
Cooling flows are regions where the importance of non-thermal intracluster medium components such as magnetic fields and cosmic rays may be strongest within a galaxy cluster. They are also regions where such components are best detectable due to the high gas density which influences Faraday rotation measurements of magnetic fields and secondary particle production in hadronic interactions of co...
متن کاملObservations of Galaxy Clusters: Evidence for Modest Cooling Flows
A prediction of the galaxy cluster cooling flow model is that as gas cools from the ambient cluster temperature, emission lines are produced in gas at subsequently decreasing temperatures. Gas passing through 10 K emits in the lines of O VI λλ1032, 1035, and here we report a FUSE study of these lines in three cooling flow clusters, Abell 426, Abell 1795, and AWM 7. No emission was detected from...
متن کاملDynamical Friction and Cooling Flows in Galaxy Clusters
We investigate a model of galaxy clusters in which the hot intracluster gas is efficiently heated by dynamical friction (DF) of galaxies. We allow for both subsonic and supersonic motions of galaxies and use the gravitational drag formula in a gaseous medium presented by Ostriker (1999). The energy lost by the galaxies is either redistributed locally or into a Gaussian centered on the galaxy. W...
متن کاملThermal conduction and reduced cooling flows in galaxy clusters
Conduction may play an important role in reducing cooling flows in galaxy clusters. We analyse a sample of sixteen objects using Chandra data and find that a balance between conduction and cooling can exist in the hotter clusters (T 5 keV), provided the plasma conductivity is close to the unhindered Spitzer value. In the absence of any additional heat sources, a reduced mass inflow must develop...
