The intracluster iron distribution around 4 C + 55 . 16
We report on the metal distribution in the intracluster medium around the radio galaxy 4C+55.16 (z = 0.24) observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The radial metallicity profile shows a dramatic change at 10 arcsec (∼ 50 kpc) in radius from half solar to twice solar at inner radii. Also found was a plume-like feature located at∼ 3 arcsec to the south-west of the centre of the galaxy, which...
متن کاملTracing the distribution and evolution of Iron in the IntraCluster Medium
— Emission lines in X–ray spectra of clusters of galaxies reveal the presence of heavy elements in the diffuse hot plasma (the Intra Cluster Medium, or ICM) in virial equilibrium in the dark matter potential well. Thanks to the X–ray satellites Chandra and XMM–Newton we are now able to measure with good accuracy the distribution and evolution of Iron up to redshift z ∼ 1.3. The capability of st...
متن کاملRedshift Evolution in the Iron Abundance of the Intracluster Medium
Clusters of galaxies provide a closed box within which one can determine the chemical evolution of the gaseous baryons with cosmic time. We studied this metallicity evolution in the hot X-ray emitting baryons through an analysis of XMM-Newton observations of 29 galaxy clusters in the redshift range 0.3 < z < 1.3. Taken alone, this data set does not show evidence for significant evolution. Howev...

متن کاملIntracluster Stars and the Chemical Enrichment of the Intracluster Medium
We explore the contribution of intracluster stars (ICS) to the chemical enrichment history of the intracluster medium (ICM). In contrast to scenarios in which all the metals originate in cluster galaxies and are then transported into the ICM, intracluster stars enrich the ICM in situ, thereby contributing 100% of their supernovae ejecta directly into the ICM. Modeling the ICS as an ancient, sin...
