Deconstructing A3266: A Major Merger in a Quiet Cluster
We present results of simple N-body simulations that strengthen the suggestion that A3266 is composed of two subunits of comparable mass that have recently merged. Both the real cluster and the N-body dark-matter cluster show mixed signals of substructure under statistical tests. However, in a decidedly non-statistical approach allowed by the wide-area coverage and large number of redshifts the...
متن کاملThe Off - Axis Galaxy Cluster Merger Abell 115
We have used a 50.4 ksec Chandra observation to examine the galaxy cluster Abell 115 (z=0.1971). The X-ray surface brightness distribution shows a merger of 2 sub-clusters with substantial off-axis motion. The northern sub-cluster moves toward the southwest and exhibits a strong X-ray surface brightness gradient toward this direction as well as a “fan” of X-ray bright Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM)...
متن کاملThe Galaxy Environment of a Quasar at z=1.226: A Possible Cluster Merger
We have conducted ultra-deep optical and deep near-infrared observations of a field around the z = 1.226 radio-quiet quasar 104420.8+055739 from the ClowesCampusano LQG of 18 quasars at z ∼ 1.3 in search of associated galaxy clustering. Galaxies at these redshifts are distinguished by their extremely-red colours, with I − K > 3.75, and we find a factor ∼11 overdensity of such galaxies in a 2.25...
متن کاملA Puzzling Merger in A3266: the Hydrodynamic Picture from Xmm-newton
Using the mosaic of nine XMM-Newton observations, we study the hydrodynamic state of the merging cluster of galaxies Abell 3266. The high quality of the spectroscopic data and large field of view of XMMNetwon allow us to determine the thermodynamic conditions of the intracluster medium on scales of order of 50 kpc. A high quality entropy map reveals the presence of an extended region of low ent...
متن کاملThe Fundamental Plane in Rx J0142.0+2131: a Galaxy Cluster Merger at Z = 0.28
We present the Fundamental Plane (FP) in the z = 0.28 cluster of galaxies RX J0142.0+2131. There is no evidence for a difference in the slope of the FP when compared with the Coma cluster, although the internal scatter is larger. On average, stellar populations in RX J0142.0+2131 have rest-frame V -band mass-to-light ratios (M/LV ) 0.29± 0.03 dex lower than in Coma. This is significantly lower ...
