The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample — I. The compilation of the sample and the cluster log N—log S distribution
- H. Ebeling, A. Edge, J. Huchra
- Physics
- 21 December 1998
We present a 90 per cent flux-complete sample of the 201 X-ray-brightest clusters of galaxies in the northern hemisphere (δ ≥ 0°), at high Galactic latitudes (|b| ≥ 20°), with measured redshifts z ≤…
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample - IV. The extended sample
- H. Ebeling, A. Edge, S. Allen, C. Crawford, A. Fabian, J. Huchra
- Physics
- 14 March 2000
We present a low-flux extension of the X-ray-selected ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) published in Paper I of this series. Like the original BCS and employing an identical selection procedure,…
The relation between accretion rate and jet power in X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies
- S. Allen, R. Dunn, A. Fabian, G. Taylor, C. Reynolds
- Physics
- 24 February 2006
Using Chandra X-ray observations of nine nearby, X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies with good optical velocity dispersion measurements, we show that a tight correlation exists between the Bondi…
The Observed Growth of Massive Galaxy Clusters II: X-ray Scaling Relations
This is the second in a series of papers in which we derive simultaneous constraints on cosmology and X-ray scaling relations using observations of massive, X-ray flux-selected galaxy clusters. The…
A ROSAT study of the cores of clusters of galaxies — I. Cooling flows in an X-ray flux-limited sample
- C. B. Peres, A. Fabian, A. Edge, S. Allen, R. Johnstone, D. White
- Physics
- 10 May 1998
ABSTRA C T This is the first part of a study of the detailed X-ray properties of the cores of nearby clusters. We have used the flux-limited sample of 55 clusters listed by Edge et al., and archival…
A very deep Chandra observation of the Perseus cluster: shocks, ripples and conduction
- A. Fabian, J. Sanders, K. Iwasawa
- Physics
- 17 October 2005
We present the first results from a very deep Chandra X-ray observation of the core of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. A pressure map reveals a clear thick band of high pressure around the inner…
Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: Cosmological constraints from galaxy clustering and weak lensing
- D. Abbott, F. Abdalla, J. Zuntz
- PhysicsPhysical Review D
- 4 August 2017
We present cosmological results from a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing, using 1321 deg2 of griz imaging data from the first year of the Dark Energy Survey (DES…
Accretion onto the Supermassive Black Hole in M87
- T. Di Matteo, S. Allen, A. Fabian, A. Wilson, A. Young
- Physics
- 12 February 2002
Chandra X-ray observations of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 resolve the thermal state of the hot interstellar medium into the accretion (Bondi) radius of its central 3 × 109 M☉ black hole. We…
Baryons at the Edge of the X-ray–Brightest Galaxy Cluster
- A. Simionescu, S. Allen, G. Taylor
- PhysicsScience
- 11 February 2011
The Suzaku satellite provides an accurate, spatially resolved census of the gas, metals, and dark matter out to the edge of the Perseus Cluster, and measurements of the cluster baryon fraction are consistent with the expected universal value at half of the virial radius.
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample — III. Optical spectra of the central cluster galaxies
- C. Crawford, S. Allen, UK Durham
- Physics
- 3 March 1999
We present new spectra of dominant galaxies in X-ray selected clusters of galaxies, which combine with our previously published spectra to form a sample of 256 dominant galaxies in 215 clusters. 177…
