X - ray structures in galaxy cluster cores ⋆
Using a set of ROSAT HRI deep pointings, we investigate the presence of small-scale structures in the central regions of clusters of galaxies. Our sample comprises 23 objects up to z=0.32, 13 of them known to host a cooling flow. Structures are detected and characterized using a wavelet analysis, their statistical significance being assessed by a rigorous treatment of photon noise. For all clus...
متن کاملConnecting Substructure in Galaxy Cluster Cores at Z=0.2 with Cluster Assembly Histories
We use semi-analytic models of structure formation to interpret gravitational lensing measurements of substructure in galaxy cluster cores (R≤250h−1kpc) at z = 0.2. The dynamic range of the lensing-based substructure fraction measurements is well matched to the theoretical predictions, both spanning fsub∼ 0.05 − 0.65. The structure formation model predicts that fsub is correlated with cluster a...

We use semianalytic models of structure formation to interpret gravitational lensing measurements of substructure in galaxy cluster cores ( h 1 kpc) at . The dynamic range of the lensing-based substructure R ≤ 250 z p 0.2 fraction measurements is well matched to the theoretical predictions, both spanning . The structure f ∼ 0.05–0.65 sub formation model predicts that is correlated with cluster ...
متن کاملTurbulence and Dynamo in Galaxy Cluster Medium: Implications on the Origin of Cluster Magnetic Fields
We present self-consistent cosmological magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations that simultaneously follow the formation of a galaxy cluster and the magnetic field ejection by an active galactic nucleus (AGN). We find that the magnetic fields ejected by the AGNs, though initially distributed in relatively small volumes, can be transported throughout the cluster and be further amplified by the int...
متن کاملCold Gas in Cluster Cores
I review the literature's census of the cold gas in clusters of galaxies. Cold gas here is defined as the gas that is cooler than X-ray emitting temperatures (∼ 10 7 K) and is not in stars. I present new Spitzer IRAC and MIPS observations of Abell 2597 that reveal significant amounts of warm dust and star formation at the level of 5 solar masses per year.
