Merging Binary Clusters

چکیده
We study three prominent bi-modal X-ray clusters: A3528, A1750 and A3395. Using observations taken with ROSAT and ASCA, we analyze the temperature and surface brightness distributions. We also analyze the velocity distributions of the three clusters using new measurements supplemented with previously published data. We examine both the overall cluster properties, as well as the two sub-cluster elements in each. These results are then applied to the determination of the overall cluster masses, and demonstrate excellent consistency between the various methods used. While the characteristic parameters of the sub-clusters are typical of isolated objects, our temperature results for the regions between the two sub-clusters clearly confirm the presence of merger activity. These three clusters represent a progression of equal-sized sub-cluster mergers, starting from initial contact to immediately before first core passage. Subject headings: galaxies: clusters: individual (A1750, A3395, A3528, SC0627-54) — galaxies:ICM — X-rays: galaxies

Subaru Weak Lensing Study of Seven Merging Clusters: Distributions of Mass and Baryons
We present and compare projected distributions of mass, galaxies, and the intracluster medium (ICM) for a sample of merging clusters of galaxies based on the joint weak-lensing, optical, and X-ray analysis. Our sample comprises seven nearby Abell clusters (0.0542≤ z≤0.279), for which we have conducted systematic, deep imaging observations with Suprime-Cam on Subaru telescope. Our seven target c...
متن کاملShort γ-ray Bursts and Gravitational Waves from Dynamically Formed Merging Binaries
Merging binary systems consisting of two collapsed objects are among the most promising sources of high frequency gravitational wave, GW, signals for ground based interferometers. Double neutron star or black hole/neutron star mergers are also believed to give rise to short hard bursts, SHBs, a subclass of gamma ray bursts. SHBs might thus provide a powerful way to infer the merger rate of two-...
متن کاملGalaxy Activity in Merging Binary Galaxy Clusters
We present the results of a study of galaxy activity in two merging binary clusters (A168 and A1750) using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data supplemented with the data in the literature. We have investigated the merger histories of A168 and A1750 by combining the results from a two-body dynamical model and X-ray data. In A168 two subclusters appear to have passed each other and to be com...
متن کاملREGION MERGING STRATEGY FOR BRAIN MRI SEGMENTATION USING DEMPSTER-SHAFER THEORY
Detection of brain tissues using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an active and challenging research area in computational neuroscience. Brain MRI artifacts lead to an uncertainty in pixel values. Therefore, brain MRI segmentation is a complicated concern which is tackled by a novel data fusion approach. The proposed algorithm has two main steps. In the first step the brain MRI is divided to...
متن کاملLuminosity segregation from Merging in Clusters of Galaxies
We compute the evolution of the space-dependent mass distribution of galaxies in clusters due to binary aggregations by solving a space-dependent Smoluchowski equation. From the solutions we derive the distribution of intergalactic distance for different ranges of mass (and of corresponding magnitude). We compare the results with the observed distributions, and find that the different degrees o...
متن کاملPredicting the labels of an unknown graph via adaptive exploration
Motivated by a problem of targeted advertising in social networks, we introduce a new model of online learning on labeled graphs where the graph is initially unknown and the algorithm is free to choose which vertex to predict next. For this learning model, we define an appropriate measure of regularity of a graph labeling called the merging degree. In general, the merging degree is small when t...
