ICM properties and AGN distribution in high-z RCS clusters
Context. The study of the thermodynamical and chemical properties of the Intra Cluster Medium (ICM) in high redshift clusters of galaxies is a powerful tool to investigate the formation and evolution of large scale structures. Here we discuss the X–ray properties of clusters of galaxies optically selected in the Red–Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS) observed with the Chandra satellite, at redshifts...
متن کاملSimulating galaxy clusters – I. Thermal and chemical properties of the intra-cluster medium
The study of the physical properties and scaling relations of the Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) can give particularly useful information about the origin of galaxy clusters, as well as on their global star formation histories and dynamical evolution. We have performed a series of N-body/hydrodynamical (TreeSPH) simulations of clusters and groups of galaxies, selected from cosmological N-body simul...
متن کاملThe Intra-Cluster Medium
The Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) is a rarefied, hot, highly ionized, metal rich, weakly magnetized plasma. In these proceeding, after having reviewed some basic ICM properties, I discuss recent results obtained with the BeppoSAX, XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites. These results are summarized in the following five points. 1) Currently available hard X-ray data does not allow us to constrain B fie...
متن کاملMetal Enrichment in the Intra-cluster Medium
The enrichment of the Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) with heavy elements is reviewed. There is now good observational evidence for enrichment including abundance ratios and metallicity distributions. Various processes involved in the enrichment process – rampressure stripping, galactic winds, galaxy-galaxy interactions, AGN outflows and intra-cluster supernovae – are described. Simulations of the I...
متن کاملThe Evolution of X–ray Clusters and the Entropy of the Intra Cluster Medium
The thermodynamics of the diffuse, X-ray emitting gas in clusters of galaxies is determined by gravitational processes associated with shock heating, adiabatic compression, and non–gravitational processes such as heating by SNe, stellar winds, activity in the central galactic nucleus, and radiative cooling. The effect of gravitational processes on the thermodynamics of the Intra Cluster Medium ...
