Hydrodynamical simulations of the galaxy population: enduring successes and outstanding challenges

RA Crain, F van de Voort - Annual Review of Astronomy and …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
We review the progress in modeling the galaxy population in hydrodynamical simulations of

Heating hot atmospheres with active galactic nuclei

BR McNamara, PEJ Nulsen - Annu. Rev. Astron. Astrophys., 2007 - annualreviews.org
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 …

Detection of an unidentified emission line in the stacked X-ray spectrum of galaxy clusters

E Bulbul, M Markevitch, A Foster, RK Smith… - The Astrophysical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
We detect a weak unidentified emission line at E=(3.55–3.57)±0.03 keV in a stacked XMM-
Newton spectrum of 73 galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 0.01–0.35. When the full …

Mechanical feedback from active galactic nuclei in galaxies, groups and clusters

BR McNamara, PEJ Nulsen - New Journal of Physics, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
The radiative cooling timescales at the centers of hot atmospheres surrounding elliptical
galaxies, groups and clusters are much shorter than their ages. Therefore, hot atmospheres …

The universal galaxy cluster pressure profile from a representative sample of nearby systems (REXCESS) and the YSZ–M500 relation

M Arnaud, GW Pratt, R Piffaretti, H Böhringer… - Astronomy & …, 2010 - aanda.org
We investigate the regularity of cluster pressure profiles with REXCESS, a representative
sample of 33 local (z< 0.2) clusters drawn from the REFLEX catalogue and observed with …

Turbulent heating in galaxy clusters brightest in X-rays

I Zhuravleva, E Churazov, AA Schekochihin, SW Allen… - Nature, 2014 - nature.com
Abstract The hot (107 to 108 kelvin), X-ray-emitting intracluster medium (ICM) is the
dominant baryonic constituent of clusters of galaxies. In the cores of many clusters, radiative …

Chandra sample of nearby relaxed galaxy clusters: mass, gas fraction, and mass-temperature relation

Stellar mass—halo mass relation and star formation efficiency in high-mass halos

AV Kravtsov, AA Vikhlinin, AV Meshcheryakov - Astronomy Letters, 2018 - Springer
We study relation between stellar mass and halo mass for high-mass halos using a sample
of galaxy clusters with accurate measurements of stellar masses from optical and ifrared …
