Ram pressure stripping in a viscous intracluster medium

open access: yes, 2008
In the recent literature there is circumstantial evidence that the viscosity of the intracluster medium may not be too far from the Spitzer value. In this letter, we present two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations of ram pressure stripping of disc ...

Galaxy Cluster Radio Relics in Adaptive Mesh Refinement Cosmological Simulations: Relic Properties and Scaling Relationships

open access: yes, 2011
Cosmological shocks are a critical part of large-scale structure formation, and are responsible for heating the intracluster medium in galaxy clusters. In addition, they are also capable of accelerating non-thermal electrons and protons. In this work, we

The Fate of Asymptotic Giant Branch Winds in Massive Galaxies and the Intracluster Medium

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Winds from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars not only provide mass and energy return, but also produce dust grains in massive elliptical galaxies. Due to the fast stellar velocity, the wind is thought to form a comet-like tail, similar to Mira in the ...

The Seeding of Cosmic Ray Electrons by Cluster Radio Galaxies: A Review

open access: yesGalaxies
Radio galaxies in clusters of galaxies are a prominent reservoir of magnetic fields and of non-thermal particles, which become mixed with the intracluster medium.

Probing cluster environments of blazars through gamma-gamma absorption

open access: yes, 2014
Most blazars are known to be hosted in giant elliptic galaxies, but their cluster environments have not been thoroughly investigated. Cluster environments may contain radiation fields of low-energy photons created by nearby galaxies and/or stars in the ...

Investigating the Intracluster Medium Viscosity Using the Tails of GASP Jellyfish Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The microphysics of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is still poorly understood. Observational evidence suggests that the effective viscosity is suppressed by plasma instabilities that reduce the mean free path of particles. Measuring the

Redshift Evolution in the Iron Abundance of the Intracluster Medium

open access: yes, 2009
Clusters of galaxies provide a closed box within which one can determine the chemical evolution of the gaseous baryons with cosmic time. We studied this metallicity evolution in the hot X-ray emitting baryons through an analysis of XMM-Newton ...
