Intracluster Medium Entropy Profiles for a Chandra Archival Sample of Galaxy Clusters
- K. Cavagnolo, M. Donahue, G. Voit, Ming Sun
- Physics
- 11 February 2009
We present radial entropy profiles of the intracluster medium (ICM) for a collection of 239 clusters taken from the Chandra X-ray Observatory's Data Archive. Entropy is of great interest because it…

The baseline intracluster entropy profile from gravitational structure formation
The radial entropy profile of the hot gas in clusters of galaxies tends to follow a power law in radius outside of the cluster core. Here we present a simple formula giving both the normalization and…
Tracing cosmic evolution with clusters of galaxies
- G. Voit
- Physics
- 7 October 2004
The most successful cosmological models to date envision structure formation as a hierarchical process in which gravity is constantly drawing lumps of matter together to form increasingly larger…
Gas entropy in a representative sample of nearby X-ray galaxy clusters (REXCESS): relationship to gas mass fraction
We examine the radial entropy distribution and its scaling using 31 nearby galaxy clusters from the Representative XMM-Newton Cluster Structure Survey (REXCESS), a sample in the temperature range 2-9…
A Very Hot High-Redshift Cluster of Galaxies: More Trouble for Ω0 = 1
- M. Donahue, G. Voit, I. Gioia, G. Luppino, J. Hughes, J. Stocke
- Physics
- 1 July 1997
We have observed the most distant (z = 0.829) cluster of galaxies in the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) with the ASCA and ROSAT satellites. We find an X-ray temperature of 12.3…
Hα Tail, Intracluster H II Regions, and Star Formation: ESO 137-001 in Abell 3627
- M. Sun, M. Donahue, G. Voit
- Physics
- 8 June 2007
We present the discovery of a 40 kpc Hα tail and at least 29 emission-line objects downstream of a star-forming galaxy, ESO 137-001, in the rich, nearby cluster A3627. The galaxy is known to possess…
SPECTACULAR X-RAY TAILS, INTRACLUSTER STAR FORMATION, AND ULXs IN A3627
- M. Sun, M. Donahue, C. Jones
- Physics
- 5 October 2009
We present the discovery of spectacular double X-ray tails associated with ESO 137-001 and a possibly heated X-ray tail associated with ESO 137-002, both late-type galaxies in the closest rich…
An Entropy Threshold for Strong Hα and Radio Emission in the Cores of Galaxy Clusters
- K. Cavagnolo, M. Donahue, G. Voit, Ming Sun
- Physics
- 2 June 2008
Our Chandra X-Ray Observatory archival study of intracluster entropy in a sample of 222 galaxy clusters shows that H? and radio emission from the brightest cluster galaxy are much more pronounced…
Destruction and survival of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in active galaxies
- G. Voit
- Physics
- 15 October 1992
Infrared spectra of dusty galactic environments often contain emission features attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs, which can be considered to be very small grains or very large…
