Intergalactic Matter And Cocoons of Radio Galaxies
The cocoons surrounding powerful radio sources can be extensive if the jet that feeds the cocoon is light and supersonic. They have been shown to remain overpressured with respect to the ambient medium for most of the life time of the sources. The observed lobes of the radio sources form parts of these extensive cocoons. We show that observations of the lobes of giant radio sources allow one to...
متن کاملCosmology with Clusters of Galaxies
Rich clusters of galaxies, the largest virialized systems known, place some of the most powerful constraints on cosmology. I discuss below the use of clusters of galaxies in addressing two fundamental questions: What is the mass-density of the universe? and how is the mass distributed? I show that several independent methods utilizing clusters of galaxies—cluster dynamics and mass-to-light rati...
متن کاملCosmology with clusters of galaxies
Clusters of galaxies occupy a special place in the hierarchy of cosmic structures. They arise from the collapse of initial perturbations having a typical comoving scale of about 10 hMpc. According to the standard model of cosmic structure formation, the Universe is dominated by gravitational dynamics in the linear or weakly non–linear regime and on scales larger than this. In this case, the des...
متن کاملClusters of Galaxies: Diagnostic Tools for Cosmology
Clusters of galaxies can be used for very different kinds of cosmological tests. I review a few of the methods: determination of cluster masses and dark matter content, metal enrichment and its connection to the origin of the intra-cluster gas, and the dynamical state of clusters. The progress in the different fields expected from observations with the new X-ray satellites XMM and Chandra is
متن کاملKeys to Cosmology – Clusters of Galaxies
We review several aspects of clusters of galaxies and their application to cosmology. We present first results of numerical simulations of the dynamics of the intra-cluster gas and of different interaction processes between cluster galaxies and the intra-cluster gas. In particular metallicity maps are very useful to determine the importance of the different interaction processes. Also mass dete...
