Supernovae Types Ia/II and Intracluster Medium Enrichment [PDF]
We re-examine the respective roles played by supernovae (SNe) Types Ia and II in enriching the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters, in light of the recent downward shift of the ASCA abundance ratios of alpha-elements to iron favoured by Ishimaru

AN ATTRACTOR FOR THE DYNAMICAL STATE OF THE INTRACLUSTER MEDIUM [PDF]
Galaxy clusters provide us with important information about the cosmology of our universe. Observations of the X-ray radiation or of the SZ effect allow us to measure the density and temperature of the hot intergalactic medium between the galaxies in a cluster, which then allow us to calculate the total mass of the galaxy cluster.

Deep Synoptic Array Science: Two Fast Radio Burst Sources in Massive Galaxy Clusters
The hot gas that constitutes the intracluster medium (ICM) has been studied at X-ray and millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths (Sunyaev–Zel’dovich effect) for decades.

The presence of dust in the intracluster medium (ICM) has been a long-standing problem that is still awaiting elucidation. Direct observational diagnostics are rather challenging (though not impossible) either because of a sparse distribution of dust in ...

Multiscale analysis of turbulence evolution in the density-stratified intracluster medium [PDF]
The diffuse hot medium inside clusters of galaxies typically exhibits turbulent motions whose amplitude increases with radius, as revealed by cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. However, its physical origin remains unclear. It could either be due to

The X-Ray Intracluster Medium [PDF]
Clusters of galaxies are the largest aggregates of matter that have decoupled from the universal expansion and have approximately evolved to a proper dynamical equilibrium configuration. While in the optical they are just observed as dense concentrations of galaxies, they are seen in X-rays as continuously connected entities through the emission of the

Power spectrum estimation methods on intracluster medium surface brightness fluctuations [PDF]
Accurate estimation of galaxy cluster masses is a central problem in cosmology. Turbulence is believed to introduce significant deviations from the hydrostatic mass estimates.

How do atomic code uncertainties affect abundance measurements in the intracluster medium? [PDF]
Accurate chemical abundance measurements of X-ray-emitting atmospheres pervading massive galaxies, galaxy groups, and clusters provide essential information on the star formation and chemical enrichment histories of these large-scale structures. Although

Understanding shape and centroid deviations in 39 strong lensing galaxy clusters in various dynamical states [PDF]
Through observational tests of strong lensing galaxy clusters, we can test simulation derived structure predictions that follow from Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmology.

Generation of internal waves by buoyant bubbles in galaxy clusters and heating of intracluster medium [PDF]
Buoyant bubbles of relativistic plasma in cluster cores plausibly play a key role in conveying the energy from a supermassive black hole to the intracluster medium (ICM) - the process known as radio-mode AGN feedback.
