Double Galaxy Clusters
DOUBLE GALAXY CLUSTERS Gary A. Wegner Department of Physics & Astronomy Dartmouth College KIAS 5 November 2014 OUTLINE 1. Examples of some double clusters 2. Simulations 3. What we can hope to learn 4. Star formation in mergers 5. Abell 2465 6. Conclusions Best known case: the “Bullet” cluster Clowe etal. 2006, ApJ, 648, 109 Separation of X-ray, galaxies, matter profile from strong and weak lensing Two more examples, RX J 1347.5-1145 (Bradac et al. 2006, ApJ, 681, 187) MACS J0025.4-1222, “Baby bullet” (Bradac et al. 2008, ApJ, 687, 959) Abell 2744, Owers et al. 2011, ApJ, 728, 27 Abell 2146 Russell et al 2012 MNRAS, 423, 236 DLSCL J00916.2+2951 (Musket ball cluster) Dawson et al. 2012, ApJ, 747, L42 (See also for many further examples.)
