Received 2018 December 17; in original form 2018 November 29. ABSTRACT We analysed XMM-Newton EPIC data for 53 galaxy clusters. Through 2D spec- tral maps, we provide the most detailed and extended view of the spatial distribution of temperature (kT), pressure (P), entropy (S) and metallicity (Z) of galaxy clusters to date with the aim of correlating the dynamical state of the system to six cool-core diagnoses from the literature. With the objective of building 2D maps and resolving structures in kT, P, S and Z, we divide the data in small regions from which spectra can be extracted. Our analysis shows that when clusters are spherically symmetric the cool-cores (CC) are preserved, the systems are relaxed with little signs of perturbation, and most of the CC criteria agree. The disturbed clusters are elongated, show clear signs of interaction in the 2D maps, and most do not have a cool-core.

These discoveries have opened up several exciting questions that are beyond the capabilities of current X-ray telescopes and will need to be addressed by observatories in the next two decades.

While this gas is directly observable in X-ray emission around clusters of galaxies, it is primarily studied through its UV absorption. Recently, X-ray observations of large-scale filaments connecting to the cosmic web around the nearby (z = 0:05584) cluster Abell 133 were reported. One of these filaments is intersected by the sightline to quasar [VV98] J010250.2 220929, allowing for a − first-ever census of cold, cool, and warm gas in a filament of the cosmic web where hot gas has been seen in X-ray emission. Here, we present UV observations with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and optical observations with the Magellan Echellette spectrograph of [VV98] J010250.2 220929.

    Cross Identification Between X-Ray and Optical Clusters of Galaxies In

    Draft version November 8, 2018 A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 5/2/11 CROSS IDENTIFICATION BETWEEN X-RAY AND OPTICAL CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES IN THE SDSS DR7 FIELD Lei Wang1, Xiaohu Yang 1, Wentao Luo1, Erwin T. Lau1,2, Yu Wang3, H.J. Mo4, Frank C. van den Bosch5, Q.D. Wang4 Draft version November 8, 2018 ABSTRACT We use the ROSAT all sky survey X-ray cluster catalogs and the optical SDSS DR7 galaxy and group catalogs to cross-identify X-ray clusters with their optical counterparts, resulting in a sample of 201 X-ray clusters in the sky coverage of SDSS DR7. We investigate various correlations between the optical and X-ray properties of these X-ray clusters, and find that the following optical properties are correlated with the X-ray luminosity: the central galaxy luminosity, the central galaxy mass, the 0.43 0.46 characteristic group luminosity (∝ LX ), the group stellar mass (∝ LX ), with typical 1-σ scatter of ∼ 0.67 in log LX. Using the observed number distribution of X-ray clusters, we obtain an unbiased scaling relation between the X-ray luminosity, the central galaxy stellar mass and the characteristic satellite stellar mass as log LX = −0.26+2.90[log(M∗,c+0.26Msat)−12.0] (and in terms of luminosities, as log LX = −0.15+2.38[log(Lc +0.72Lsat) − 12.0]). We find that the systematic difference between different halo mass estimations, e.g., using the ranking of characteristic group stellar mass or using the X-ray luminosity scaling relation can be used to constrain cosmology.

    NL#145 March/April

    March/April 2009 Issue 145 A Publication for the members of the American Astronomical Society 3 President’s Column John Huchra, [email protected] Council Actions I have just come back from the Long Beach meeting, and all I can say is “wow!” We received many positive comments on both the talks and the high level of activity at the meeting, and the breakout 4 town halls and special sessions were all well attended. Despite restrictions on the use of NASA funds AAS Election for meeting travel we had nearly 2600 attendees. We are also sorry about the cold floor in the big hall, although many joked that this was a good way to keep people awake at 8:30 in the morning. The Results meeting had many high points, including, for me, the announcement of this year’s prize winners and a call for the Milky Way to go on a diet—evidence was presented for a near doubling of its mass, making us a one-to-one analogue of Andromeda. That also means that the two galaxies will crash into each 4 other much sooner than previously expected. There were kickoffs of both the International Year of Pasadena Meeting Astronomy (IYA), complete with a wonderful new movie on the history of the telescope by Interstellar Studios, and the new Astronomy & Astrophysics Decadal Survey, Astro2010 (more on that later). We also had thought provoking sessions on science in Australia and astronomy in China. My personal 6 prediction is that the next decade will be the decade of international collaboration as science, especially astronomy and astrophysics, continues to become more and more collaborative and international in Highlights from nature.
