Newcomers Meet the Intracluster Medium in the Coma Cluster
A main topic at this meeting is how galaxies are affected when they enter for the first time the cluster environment from the outskirts. Most of the times we are forced to infer the environmental effects indirectly, relying on systematic variations of galaxy properties with environment, but there aren’t many examples of direct observations able to unveil ongoing transformations taking place, an...
متن کاملSound waves in the intracluster medium of the Centaurus cluster
We report the discovery of ripple-like X-ray surface brightness oscillations in the core of the Centaurus cluster of galaxies, found with 200 ks of Chandra observations. The features are between 3 to 5 per cent variations in surface brightness with a wavelength of around 9 kpc. If, as has been conjectured for the Perseus cluster, these are sound waves generated by the repetitive inflation of ce...
متن کاملGalaxy Disruption as the Origin of Intracluster Light in the Coma Cluster
Although the existence of a faint background of starlight in the core of the Coma cluster has been well established, its origin is uncertain. This vast sea of stars could have formed outside the galaxies, using gas left over from the time of the cluster’s birth. Alternatively, it might be the accumulated debris generated by interactions between the galaxies over the lifetime of the cluster. Her...
متن کاملFar - infrared emission of intracluster dust in the Coma galaxy cluster ?
The ISOPHOT C200 camera aboard ISO has been used to observe the extended far infrared (FIR) emission from the Coma cluster of galaxies. Two scans with 48′ length across the cluster, each at 120 μm and 185 μm, were obtained at crossing position angles. The profiles of the surface brightness ratio I120μm/I185μm along the two scans are quite similar in showing an enhanced 120 μm emission within th...
متن کاملWarm-hot Intergalactic Medium Associated with the Coma Cluster
Both the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background and the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis theory combined with observations of light elements imply that the baryon density is about 4.5% of critical. Most of these baryons are observed at redshifts greater than two, but have remained elusive at lower redshifts. Hydrodynamic simulations predict that the low redshift baryons are predominately in ...
