Evolution of vorticity and enstrophy in the intracluster medium [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2017 Turbulence generated by large-scale motions during structure formation affects the evolution of the thermal and non-thermal components of the intracluster medium.

The Survival of Planetary Nebulae in the Intracluster Medium [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 The stellar population stripped from galaxies in clusters evolve under the extreme conditions imposed by the intracluster (IC) medium. Intracluster stars generally suffer very high systemic velocities, and evolve within a rarefied and extremely hot IC ...

Plasma physics of the intracluster medium [PDF]
, 2022 This Chapter provides a brief tutorial on some aspects of plasma physics that are fundamental to understanding the dynamics and energetics of the intracluster medium (ICM). The tutorial is split into two parts: one that focuses on the thermal plasma component -- its stability, viscosity, conductivity, and ability to amplify magnetic fields to dynamical

A chemical evolution model for galaxy clusters [PDF]
arXiv, 2001 We develop a toy-model for the chemical evolution of the intracluster medium, polluted by the galactic winds from elliptical galaxies. The model follows the "galaxy formation history" of cluster galaxies, constrained by the observed luminosity function ...

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

Diffuse radio emission from the Intracluster medium [PDF]
, 2004 An important aspect of the radio emission from galaxy clusters is represented by the diffuse radio sources associated with the intracluster medium: radio halos, relics and mini-halos.

Intracluster stellar population properties from N-body cosmological simulations -- I. Constraints at $z=0$ [PDF]
Astrophys.J.594:172-185,2003, 2003 We use a high resolution collisionless simulation of a Virgo--like cluster in a $\Lambda$CDM cosmology to determine the velocity and clustering properties of the diffuse stellar component in the intracluster region at the present epoch.

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

Enrichment of the hot intracluster medium: observations [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2018 Four decades ago, the firm detection of an Fe-K emission feature in the X-ray spectrum of the Perseus cluster revealed the presence of iron in its hot intracluster medium (ICM).

X-ray Observations of the Chemical Abundances in the Intra-Cluster Medium [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Clusters of galaxies as the largest clearly defined objects in our Universe are ideal laboratories to study the distribution of the most abundant chemical elements heavier than hydrogen and helium and the history of their production.
