Scaling relations in fossil galaxy groups
Using Chandra X-ray observations and optical imaging and spectroscopy of a flux-limited sample of 5 fossil groups, supplemented by additional systems from the literature, we provide the first detailed study of the scaling properties of fossils compared to normal groups and clusters. Fossil groups are dominated by a single giant elliptical galaxy at the centre of an extended bright X-ray halo. I...
متن کاملAdiabatic scaling relations of galaxy clusters
The aim of the present work is to show that, contrary to popular belief, galaxy clusters are not expected to be self-similar, even when the only energy sources available are gravity and shock-wave heating. In particular, we investigate the scaling relations between mass, luminosity and temperature of galaxy groups and clusters in the absence of radiative processes. Theoretical expectations are ...
متن کاملStar formation in galaxy mergers: ISM turbulence, dense gas excess, and scaling relations for disks and starbusts
Galaxy interactions and mergers play a significant, but still debated and poorly understood role in the star formation history of galaxies. Numerical and theoretical models cannot yet explain the main properties of merger-induced starbursts, including their intensity and their spatial extent. Usually, the mechanism invoked in merger-induced starbursts is a global inflow of gas towards the centr...
متن کاملRevisiting Scaling Relations for Giant Radio Halos in Galaxy Clusters
Many galaxy clusters host Megaparsec-scale radio halos, generated by ultrarelativistic electrons in the magnetized intracluster medium. Correlations between the synchrotron power of radio halos and the thermal properties of the hosting clusters were established in the last decade, including the connection between the presence of a halo and cluster mergers. The X-ray luminosity and redshift limi...
متن کاملX-ray and Sunyaev-Zel’dovich scaling relations in galaxy clusters
We present an analysis of the scaling relations between X-ray properties and SunyaevZel’dovich (SZ) parameters for a sample of 24 X-ray luminous galaxy clusters observed with Chandra and with measured SZ effect. These objects are in the redshift range 0.14–0.82 and have X-ray bolometric luminosity L & 10 erg s, with at least 4000 net counts collected for each source. We perform a spatially reso...
