Chemical Composition of the Intracluster Medium
, 2003 Clusters of galaxies are massive enough to be considered representative samples of the Universe, and to retain all of the heavy elements synthesized in their constituent stars. Since most of these metals reside in hot plasma, X-ray spectroscopy of clusters provides a unique and fundamental tool for studying chemical evolution.

The Astrophysical JournalWe present the first results of one extremely high-resolution, nonradiative magnetohydrodynamical cosmological zoom-in simulation of a massive cluster with a virial mass of M _vir = 2.0 × 10 ^15 solar masses. We adopt a mass resolution of 4 × 10 ^5 M _⊙

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 $

A Rare, Strong Shock Front in the Merging Cluster SPT-CLJ 2031-4037
The Astrophysical JournalWe present our findings from the new deep Chandra observations (256 ks) of the merging galaxy cluster SPT-CLJ 2031-4037 at z = 0.34. Our observations reveal intricate structures seen in a major merger akin to the Bullet Cluster.

Astronomy & AstrophysicsWe characterized the magnetic field properties of 352 massive galaxy clusters from the TNG-Cluster magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) cosmological simulation with a focus on central magnetic field morphology in cool-core (CC) versus non-cool-core (NCC) clusters.

The NuSTAR View of Perseus: The Intracluster Medium and a Peculiar Hard Excess
The Astrophysical JournalAs the brightest galaxy cluster in the X-ray sky, Perseus is an excellent target for studying the intracluster medium (ICM), but until recently, its active galactic nucleus (AGN) made studies of the diffuse emission near its center nearly impossible to ...
