Evolution of vorticity and enstrophy in the intracluster medium [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017

A Two-Temperature Model of the Intracluster Medium [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1998
We investigate evolution of the intracluster medium (ICM), considering the relaxation process between the ions and electrons. According to the standard scenario of structure formation, ICM is heated by the shock in the accretion flow to the gravitational

The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich temperature of the intracluster medium [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008
The relativistic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect offers a method, independent of X-ray, for measuring the temperature of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the hottest systems. Here, using N-body/hydrodynamic simulations of three galaxy clusters, we compare

Turbulence and Mixing in the Intracluster Medium [PDF]

open access: yesAIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
The intracluster medium (ICM) is stably stratified in the hydrodynamic sense with the entropy $s$ increasing outwards. However, thermal conduction along magnetic field lines fundamentally changes the stability of the ICM, leading to the "heat-flux ...

The IntraCluster Medium: An Invariant Stellar IMF [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1997
Evidence supporting the hypothesis of an invariant stellar Initial Mass Function is strong and varied. The intra-cluster medium in rich clusters of galaxies is one of the few contrary locations where recent interpretations of the chemical abundances have

Missing Thermal Energy of the Intracluster Medium [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2007
The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect is a direct probe of thermal energy content of the Universe, induced in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) sky through scattering of CMB photons off hot electrons in the intracluster medium (ICM). We report a 9-sigma

Intracluster medium of the merging cluster Abell 3395 [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2011
We present a detailed imaging and spectral analysis of the merging environment of the bimodal cluster A3395 using X-ray and radio observations. X-ray images of the cluster show five main constituents of diffuse emission : A3395 NE, A3395 SW, A3395 NW ...

The Enrichment of the Intracluster Medium [PDF]

open access: bronzeSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1996
Recent observational evidence for steep dwarf galaxy luminosity functions in several rich clusters has led to speculation that their precursors, via supernovae (SNe)-driven galactic winds, may be the source of the majority of gas and metals inferred from intracluster medium (ICM) x-ray observations (Trentham 1994).
