THE ENRICHMENT OF THE INTRACLUSTER MEDIUM [PDF]
To determine the relative contributions of galactic and intracluster stars to the enrichment of the intracluster medium (ICM), we present X-ray surface brightness, temperature, and Fe abundance profiles for a set of twelve galaxy clusters for which we have extensive optical photometry.

Mirror Acceleration of Cosmic Rays in a High-β Medium
In a weakly compressible high- β medium, pitch-angle scattering and the associated scattering acceleration of cosmic rays (CRs) by anisotropic Alfvén and slow modes of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is inefficient.

THE INTRAGROUP VERSUS THE INTRACLUSTER MEDIUM [PDF]
ABSTRACT Galaxy groups differ from clusters primarily by way of their lower masses, M ∼ 1014 M ⊙ versus M ∼ 1015 M ⊙. We discuss how mass affects the thermal state of the intracluster or the intragroup medium, specifically as to their entropy levels and radial ...

Plasma Physics of the Intracluster Medium
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

Cosmological simulations of the intracluster medium [PDF]
We investigate the properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) that forms within N-body/hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters in a \LambdaCDM cosmology. When radiative cooling and a simple model for galactic feedback are included, our clusters have X-ray luminosities and temperatures in good agreement with observed systems, demonstrating the ...

Electron Reacceleration via Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Intracluster Medium
In galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM) is expected to host a diffuse, long-lived, and invisible population of “fossil” cosmic-ray electrons (CRe) with 1–100 MeV energies.
