Three - dimensional reconstruction of the intra - cluster medium
We propose and test a new method based on Richardson-Lucy deconvolution to reconstruct three-dimensional gas density and temperature distributions in galaxy clusters from combined X-ray and thermal Sunyaev-Zel’dovich observations. Clusters are assumed to be axially symmetric and arbitrarily inclined with respect to the line-of-sight. No equilibrium assumption other than local thermal equilibriu...
متن کاملThe Intra-Cluster Medium
The Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) is a rarefied, hot, highly ionized, metal rich, weakly magnetized plasma. In these proceeding, after having reviewed some basic ICM properties, I discuss recent results obtained with the BeppoSAX, XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites. These results are summarized in the following five points. 1) Currently available hard X-ray data does not allow us to constrain B fie...
متن کاملBubbles, Feedback and the Intra-Cluster Medium: Three-Dimensional Hydrodynamic Simulations
We use a three dimensional hydrodynamical code to simulate the effect of energy injection on cooling flows in the intracluster medium. Specifically, we compare a simulation of a 10 M cluster with radiative cooling only, with a second simulation in which thermal energy is injected 31 kpc off-centre, over 64 kpc at a rate of 4.9×1044ergs s−1 for 50 Myr. The heat injection forms a hot, low density...
متن کاملThe Heating of the Intra Cluster Medium
X–ray observations indicate that non–gravitational processes play a key role in determining the distribution of the diffuse, X-ray emitting gas in clusters of galaxies (ICM). The effect of non–gravitational processes is imprinted in the ICM as an entropy minimum. Preheating models assume that the entropy minimum is present in the cosmic baryons well before collapse. On the other hand, observati...
متن کاملMetal Enrichment in the Intra-cluster Medium
The enrichment of the Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) with heavy elements is reviewed. There is now good observational evidence for enrichment including abundance ratios and metallicity distributions. Various processes involved in the enrichment process – rampressure stripping, galactic winds, galaxy-galaxy interactions, AGN outflows and intra-cluster supernovae – are described. Simulations of the I...
