Zooming in on the Coma Cluster with Chandra: Compressed Warm Gas in the Brightest Cluster Galaxies
The Chandra image of the central region of the Coma cluster reveals that both its dominant galaxies, NGC 4874 and NGC 4889, retain the central parts of their X-ray gas coronae. The interstellar gas with a temperature of 1– 2 keV is confined by the hot intergalactic medium of the Coma cluster into compact clouds (only 3 kpc in radius) containing 108 M⊙ of gas. The physical state of the gas in th...
متن کاملRadial kinematics of brightest cluster galaxies
This is the first of a series of papers devoted to the investigation of a large sample of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), their kinematic and stellar population properties, and the relationships between those and the properties of the cluster. We have obtained high signal-to-noise ratio, long-slit spectra of these galaxies with Gemini and WHT with the primary purpose of investigating their s...
متن کاملIonized nebulae surrounding brightest cluster galaxies
We present integral field spectroscopic observations of six emission-line nebulae that surround the central galaxy of cool core clusters. Qualitatively similar nebulae are observed in cool core clusters even when the dynamics and possibly formation and excitation source are different. Evidence for a nearby secondary galaxy disturbing a nebula, as well as AGN and starburst driven outflows are pr...
متن کاملSpectra of Cluster Galaxies at Z ∼ 0.4
The “MORPHS” group has obtained an extensive spectroscopic dataset of galaxies in the fields of 10 rich clusters at 0.37 < z < 0.56; the stellar population properties of about 700 objects have been determined from a detailed analysis of spectral line strenghts and colours, up to a galactic absolute magnitude MV = −20.3 mag. Morphological informations for a consistent fraction of our sample have...
متن کاملThe Origin of the Brightest Cluster Galaxies
Most clusters and groups of galaxies contain a giant elliptical galaxy in their centres which far outshines and outweighs normal ellipticals. The origin of these brightest cluster galaxies is intimately related to the collapse and formation of the cluster. Using a large cosmological N-body simulation of cluster collapse, we show how hierarchical merging naturally produces a giant, central ellip...
