Radio Observations of Galaxy Clusters: Connection to Cluster Mergers
The main component of the intracluster medium (ICM) in clusters of galaxies is represented by the X-ray emitting thermal plasma. In addition, the presence of relativistic electrons and largescale magnetic fields in a fraction of galaxy clusters is demonstrated by the detection of largescale synchrotron radio sources, which have no optical counterpart and no obvious connection to the cluster gal...
متن کاملThe Redmapper Galaxy Cluster Catalog from Des Science Verification Data
We describe updates to the redMaPPer algorithm, a photometric red-sequence cluster finder specifically designed for large photometric surveys. The updated algorithm is applied to150 deg of Science Verification (SV) data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), and to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR8 photometric data set. The DES SV catalog is locally volume limited and contains 786 clusters wi...
متن کاملThe Off - Axis Galaxy Cluster Merger Abell 115
We have used a 50.4 ksec Chandra observation to examine the galaxy cluster Abell 115 (z=0.1971). The X-ray surface brightness distribution shows a merger of 2 sub-clusters with substantial off-axis motion. The northern sub-cluster moves toward the southwest and exhibits a strong X-ray surface brightness gradient toward this direction as well as a “fan” of X-ray bright Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM)...
متن کاملHigh-resolution simulations of galaxy mergers: Resolving globular cluster formation
Massive star clusters observed in galaxy mergers are often suggested to be progenitors of globular clusters. To study this hypothesis, we performed the highest resolution simulation of a gas-rich galaxy merger so far. The formation of massive star clusters of 10 to 10 M⊙, triggered by the galaxy interaction, is directly resolved in this model. We show that these clusters are tightly bound struc...
متن کاملTeV γ - Ray Observations of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster
We report on observations of the Perseus cluster of galaxies using the 10 m Whipple γ-ray telescope during the 2004-2005 observing season. We apply a two dimensional analysis technique to allow us to scrutinize the cluster for TeV emission. In this contribution we will first calculate flux upper limits on TeV γ-ray sources within the cluster. Second, we derive an upper limit on the extended clu...
