X-COP 2.0\: Mergers and Interacting objects
收藏资源简介:
Galaxy clusters are the end point of structure formation, with their outskirtsbeing the regions where smaller structures are still accreting onto the mainhalo. The distribution of the gas in these regions is expected to be clumpy andasymmetric, with an important contribution from nonthermal pressure support.Following the success of our large XMMNewton program we propose to map theouter regions of 3 merging galaxy clusters,to have a complete, purely SZselected, and sizeable set of massive galaxy clusters with thermodynamicproperties recovered out to the virial radius, providing an important legacyvalue to the community. We will to perform an azimuthal analysis in sectors,exploring in detail the violation from hydrostatic equilibrium along several directions out to R200. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
