Intermediate Element Abundances in Galaxy Clusters
We present the average abundances of the intermediate elements obtained by performing a stacked analysis of all the galaxy clusters in the archive of the X-ray telescope ASCA. We determine the abundances of Fe, Si, S, and Ni as a function of cluster temperature (mass) from 1 – 10 keV, and place strong upper limits on the abundances of Ca and Ar. In general, Si and Ni are overabundant with respe...
متن کاملMetal Abundances in the Cool-Cores of Galaxy Clusters
We use XMM-Newton data to carry out a detailed study of the Si, Fe and Ni abundances in the cool cores of a representative sample of 26 local clusters. We have performed a careful evaluation of the systematic uncertainties related to the instruments, the plasma codes and the spectral modeling finding that the major source of uncertainty is in the plasma codes. Our Si, Fe, Ni, Si/Fe and Ni/Fe di...
متن کاملAbundances and Correlations of Structures Beyond Galaxy Clusters
We investigated the structures on scales beyond the typical clusters of galaxies. These structures are crucial to understand the cosmic gravitational clustering in the pre-virialized stage, or quasilinear règime. Based on the multi-resolution analysis of the discrete wavelet transformation, we got statistical available ensembles of rcl-clusters, i.e. the structures on scale rcl, in the range 1 ...
متن کاملChemical Abundances in Clusters of
We study the origin of iron and-elements (O, Mg, Si) in clusters of galaxies. In particular, we discuss the O/Fe] ratio and the iron mass-to-luminosity ratio in the intracluster medium (ICM) and their link to the chemical and dynamical evolution of elliptical and lenticular galaxies. We adopt a detailed model of galactic evolution incorporating the development of supernovae-driven galactic wind...
متن کاملOxygen Abundances in the Milky Way Using X-ray Absorption Measurements towards Galaxy Clusters
We present measurements of the oxygen abundance of the Milky Way’s ISM by observing the K-shell X-ray photoionization edge towards galaxy clusters. This effect is most easily observed towards objects with galactic columns (nH) of a few times 1021 cm−2. We measure X-ray column densities towards 11 clusters and find that at high galactic columns above approximately 1021 cm−2 the X-ray columns are...
