The universe's biggest galaxies have both vast atmospheres and supermassive central
black holes. This article reviews how those two components of a large galaxy couple and …

▪ Abstract Galactic winds are the primary mechanism by which energy and metals are
recycled in galaxies and are deposited into the intergalactic medium. New observations are …

High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the hot gas in galaxy clusters has shown that the gas
is not cooling to low temperatures at the predicted rates of hundreds to thousands of solar …

We present an analysis of 16 galaxy clusters, one group, and one galaxy drawn from the
Chandra Data Archive. These systems possess prominent X-ray surface brightness …

We investigate the physical mechanisms that shape the luminosity function of galaxies in
hierarchical clustering models. Beginning with the mass function of dark matter halos in the …

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 an analysis of the growth of black holes through accretion and bulges through
star formation in 33 galaxies at the centers of cooling flows. Most of these systems show …

We present an analysis of the energetics and particle content of the lobes of 24 radio
galaxies at the cores of cooling clusters. The radio lobes in these systems have created …

Theoretical studies of the physical processes guiding the formation and evolution of galaxies
and galaxy clusters in the X‐ray region are mainly based on the results of numerical …
