A relationship between AGN jet power and radio power
- K. Cavagnolo, B. McNamara, P. Nulsen, C. Carilli, C. Jones, L. Bîrzan
- Physics
- 29 June 2010
Using Chandra X-ray and Very Large Array radio data, we investigate the scaling relationship between jet power, P{sub jet}, and synchrotron luminosity, P{sub radio}. We expand the sample presented in…
What is a cool-core cluster? a detailed analysis of the cores of the X-ray flux-limited HIFLUGCS cluster sample
- D. Hudson, R. Mittal, T. Reiprich, P. Nulsen, H. Andernach, C. Sarazin
- Physics
- 2 November 2009
We use the largest complete sample of 64 galaxy clusters (HIghest X-ray FLUx Galaxy Cluster Sample) with available high-quality X-ray data from Chandra, and apply 16 cool-core diagnostics to them,…
The feedback-regulated growth of black holes and bulges through gas accretion and starbursts in cluster central dominant galaxies
- D. Rafferty, B. McNamara, P. Nulsen, M. Wise
- Physics
- 12 May 2006
We present an analysis of the growth of black holes through accretion and bulges through star formation in 33 galaxies at the centers of cooling flows. Most of these systems show evidence of cavities…
Heating Hot Atmospheres with Active Galactic Nuclei
- B. McNamara, P. Nulsen
- Physics
- 4 September 2007
High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of solar masses per…
Baryons at the Edge of the X-ray–Brightest Galaxy Cluster
- A. Simionescu, S. Allen, G. Taylor

Chandra Observation of Abell 2142: Survival of Dense Subcluster Cores in a Merger
- M. Markevitch, T. Ponman, P. Zhao
- Physics
- 14 January 2000
We use Chandra data to map the gas temperature in the central region of the merging cluster A2142. The cluster is markedly nonisothermal; it appears that the central cooling flow has been disturbed…
A Systematic Study of Radio-induced X-Ray Cavities in Clusters, Groups, and Galaxies
- L. Bîrzan, D. Rafferty, B. McNamara, M. Wise, P. Nulsen
- Physics
- 13 February 2004
We present an analysis of 16 galaxy clusters, one group, and one galaxy drawn from the Chandra Data Archive. These systems possess prominent X-ray surface brightness depressions associated with…
A High resolution study of the Hydra A cluster with Chandra: Comparison of the core mass distribution with theoretical predictions and evidence for feedback in the cooling flow
The cooling flow cluster Hydra A was observed during the orbital activation and calibration phase of the Chandra Observatory. While the X-ray image of the cluster exhibits complex structure in the…
