Complex Structure of Galaxy Cluster Abell 1689: Evidence for a Merger from X-ray Data?
Abell 1689 is a galaxy cluster at z = 0.183 where previous measurements of its mass using various techniques gave discrepant results. We present a new detailed measurement of the mass with the data based on X-ray observations with the European Photon Imaging Camera aboard the XMMNewton Observatory, determined by using an unparameterized deprojection technique. Fitting the total mass profile to ...
متن کاملA Chandra View of the Multiple Merger In Abell 2744
We present a Chandra observation of the merging cluster of galaxies Abell 2744. The cluster shows strong evidence for an ongoing major merger which we believe to be responsible for the radio halo. X-ray emission and temperature maps of the cluster, combined with the spatial and redshift distribution of the galaxies, indicate a roughly north-south axis for the merger, with a significant velocity...
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 کاملInternal dynamics of the radio halo cluster Abell 2744
Aims. We present a detailed dynamical analysis of the rich galaxy cluster A2744, containing a powerful diffuse radio halo. Methods. Our analysis is based on redshift data for 102 galaxies, part of them recovered from unexplored spectra in the ESO archive. We combine galaxy velocity and position information to select the cluster members and determine global dynamical properties of the cluster. W...
متن کاملThe Galaxy Cluster Abell 3581 as seen
We present results from an analysis of a Chandra observation of the cluster of galaxies Abell 3581. We discover the presence of a point-source in the central dominant galaxy which is coincident with the core of the radio source PKS 1404-267. The emission from the intracluster medium is analysed, both as seen in projection on the sky, and after correcting for projection effects, to determine the...
