Hot Gas in Galaxy Clusters: Theory and Simulations
— We review the theory of the formation of galaxy clusters and discuss their role as cosmological probes. We begin with the standard cosmological framework where we discuss the origin of the CDM matter power spectrum and the growth of density fluctuations in the linear regime. We then summarize the spherical top-hat model for the nonlinear growth of fluctuations from which scaling relations and...
متن کاملEnvironmental effects on Gas and Galaxy Evolution in Clusters
The cluster environment is the site of important transformations in galaxies at a relatively recent cosmological epoch: the galactic morphological types and star formation activity have evolved significantly during the last few Gyrs. How is this related to the galactic gas content? The first part of this paper briefly presents the optical observations of galaxies in distant clusters, while the ...
متن کاملGalaxy orbits and the intracluster gas temperature in clusters
In this paper we examine how well galaxies and intra-cluster gas trace the gravitational potential of clusters. Utilizing mass profiles derived from gravitational lensing and X-ray observations, coupled with measured galaxy velocities, we solve for the velocity anisotropy parameter βorb(r) using the anisotropic Jeans equation. This is done for five clusters, three at low redshift: A2199, A496 a...
متن کاملThe entropy and energy of intergalactic gas in galaxy clusters
Studies of the X-ray surface brightness profiles of clusters, coupled with theoretical considerations, suggest that the breaking of self-similarity in the hot gas results from an ‘entropy floor’, established by some heating process, which affects the structure of the intracluster gas strongly in lower mass systems. By fitting analytical models for the radial variation in gas density and tempera...
متن کاملOn the Gas Surrounding High Redshift Galaxy Clusters
Francis & Hewett (1993) identified two 10-Mpc scale regions of the high redshift universe that were seemingly very overdense in neutral hydrogen. Subsequent observations showed that at least one of these gas-rich regions enveloped a cluster of galaxies at redshift 2.38. We present improved observations of the three background QSOs with sightlines passing within a few Mpc of this cluster of gala...
