oMEGACat. VII. Tracing Interstellar and Intracluster Medium of ω Centauri Using Sodium Absorptions [PDF]
The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate the foreground interstellar medium along the line of sight and intracluster medium of ω Centauri ( ω Cen) by measuring the equivalent width of Na I D absorptions from MUSE observations. The large line-of-sight velocity difference between ω

The three-dimensional shapes of the galaxy cluster intracluster medium in eRASS1 [PDF]
Astronomy & AstrophysicsAims. The three-dimensional shapes of clusters are important for understanding the astrophysics of the clusters and as a probe in cosmological studies. Methods. We estimate the most probable three-dimensional shape of galaxy clusters in the first eROSITA

Interface-Directed High Fluorescence Efficiency Two-Dimensional Molecular Crystals With Surface-Exposed Active Sites. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Here, we designed the Me‐FBSe molecule and prepared a two‐dimensional molecular crystal via liquid‐liquid interface assembly. The crystal preserves the high photoluminescence quantum while simultaneously ensuring the high‐density surface exposure of active sites.

Shock Acceleration in the Intracluster Medium: Implications of Micromirror Confinement
The Astrophysical JournalMerging galaxy clusters exhibit strong observational evidence for efficient particle acceleration in the intracluster medium (ICM), particularly in the form of synchrotron-emitting radio relics and halos. Cosmic-ray (CR) electrons are likely accelerated (

From observations to simulations: A neural-network approach to intracluster medium kinematics
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe present a systematic comparison between XMM-Newton velocity maps of the Virgo, Centaurus, Ophiuchus, and A3266 clusters and synthetic velocity maps generated from the Illustris TNG-300 simulated clusters.

Gas motion in the intracluster medium of the Virgo cluster replica
Astronomy & AstrophysicsWithin the deep gravitational potential of galaxy clusters lies the intracluster medium (ICM). At the first order, it is considered to be at hydrostatic equilibrium within the potential well.

SDSS-C4 3028: the Nearest Blue Galaxy Cluster Devoid of an Intracluster Medium
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsSDSS-C4 3028 is a galaxy cluster at $z=0.061$, notable for its unusually high fraction of star-forming galaxies with 19 star-forming and 11 quiescent spectroscopically-confirmed member galaxies. From Subaru/HSC imaging, we derived a weak lensing mass of $

CHANDRA X-Ray Observations of A119: Cold Fronts and a Shock in an Evolved Off-axis Merger
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present Chandra X-ray observations of the dynamically complex galaxy cluster A119 ( z = 0.044). A119 is host to two narrow-angle-tail (NAT) radio sources (0053-015 and 0053-016), whose tails are oriented parallel to each other, despite orthogonally ...
