The entropy and energy of intergalactic gas in galaxy clusters

Studies of the X-ray surface brightness profiles of clusters, coupled with theoretical considerations, suggest that the breaking of self-similarity in the hot gas results from an ‘entropy floor’, established by some heating process, which affects the structure of the intracluster gas strongly in lower mass systems. By fitting analytical models for the radial variation in gas density and tempera...

Entropy generation in merging galaxy clusters

This conference has seen much discussion about non-gravitational heating of the intracluster medium, as required to reduce cooling rates and central densities sufficiently to explain the observed properties of galaxy clusters. The amount of energy input required is often computed by comparing to the entropy profile that would be expected from gravitational processes alone, as determined, for ex...

Entropy profiles in X - ray luminous galaxy clusters at z > 0 . 1

The entropy distribution of the intracluster gas reflects both accretion history of the gas and processes of feedback which provide a further non-gravitational energy besides the potential one. In this work, we study the profiles and the scaling properties of the gas entropy in 24 hot (kTgas > 6 keV) galaxy clusters observed with Chandra in the redshift range 0.14–0.82 and showing different sta...

Entropy amplification from energy feedback in simulated galaxy groups and clusters

We use hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters and groups to study the effect of pre–heating on the entropy structure of the intra–cluster medium (ICM). Our simulations account for non–gravitational heating of the gas either by imposing a minimum entropy floor at redshift zh = 3 in adiabatic simulations, or by considering feedback by galactic winds powered by supernova (SN) energy in runs...

Cosmic rays, lithium abundance and excess entropy in galaxy clusters

We consider the production of Li in spallation reactions by cosmic rays in order to explain the observed abundance in halo metal-poor stars. We show that heating of ambient gas by cosmic rays is an inevitable consequence of this process, and estimate the energy input required to reproduce the observed abundance of Li/H∼ 10 to be of order a few hundred eV per particle. We draw attention to the p...
