Galaxy 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 کاملEntropy generation in merging galaxy clusters
This conference has seen much discussion about non-gravitational heating of the intracluster medium, as required to reduce cooling rates and central densities sufficiently to explain the observed properties of galaxy clusters. The amount of energy input required is often computed by comparing to the entropy profile that would be expected from gravitational processes alone, as determined, for ex...
متن کاملCluster Physics with Merging Galaxy Clusters
Collisions between galaxy clusters provide a unique opportunity to study matter in a parameter space which cannot be explored in our laboratories on Earth. In the standard 3CDM model, where the total density is dominated by the cosmological constant (3) and the matter density by cold dark matter (CDM), structure formation is hierarchical, and clusters growmostly by merging. Mergers of two massi...
متن کاملGentle reenergization of electrons in merging galaxy clusters
Galaxy clusters are the most massive constituents of the large-scale structure of the universe. Although the hot thermal gas that pervades galaxy clusters is relatively well understood through observations with x-ray satellites, our understanding of the nonthermal part of the intracluster medium (ICM) remains incomplete. With Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) and Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT...
متن کاملGalaxy-galaxy lensing in clusters: new results
A synopsis of the recent results from our study of galaxygalaxy lensing in clusters is presented. We have applied our analysis techniques to the sample of HST cluster-lenses that span a redshift range from z = 0.18–0.58. We find that there is evidence that the total mass of a typical early-type cluster L galaxy increases with redshift. For the lowest redshift bin, a sensible comparison can be m...
