▪ Abstract The Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) provides a unique way to map the large-
scale structure of the universe as traced by massive clusters of galaxies. As a spectral …

The currently operating X-ray imaging observatories provide us with an exquisitely detailed
view of the Megaparsec-scale plasma atmospheres in nearby galaxy clusters. At z< 0.05, the …

The gas temperature in the cores of many clusters of galaxies drops inward by about a factor
of three or more within the central 100 kpc radius. The radiative cooling time drops over the …

ABSTRACT The Chandra X‐Ray Observatory (CXO), the X‐ray component of NASA's Great
Observatories, was launched on 1999 July 23 by the space shuttle Columbia. After satellite …

The existence of magnetic fields associated with the intracluster medium in clusters of
galaxies is now well established through different methods of analysis. Magnetic fields are …

The Chandra image of the merging, hot galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56 reveals a bow shock
propagating in front of a bullet-like gas cloud just exiting the disrupted cluster core. This is …

▪ Abstract Magnetic fields in the intercluster medium have been measured using a variety of
techniques, including studies of synchrotron relic and halo radio sources within clusters …

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 …

We review the X-ray spectra of the cores of clusters of galaxies. Recent high resolution X-ray
spectroscopic observations have demonstrated a severe deficit of emission at the lowest X …

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 …
