We observed a group of galaxies, HCG 57, with ASCA. Regardless that their member galaxies are dominated by spiral galaxies, we detected extended thermal X-ray emission that is attributed to hot gas with a temperature of $1.04\pm0.10$ keV.…
We present the result from a CHANDRA observation of an X-ray luminous starburst galaxy UGC 6697, which is embedded in the northwest hot region of A1367 (5 - 6 keV). A very sharp X-ray edge (~ 13 times of surface brightness jump) at the…
We place general constraints on the luminosity and mass of hot X-ray emitting gas residing in extended "hot halos" around nearby massive galaxies. We examine stacked images of 2165 galaxies from the 2MASS Very Isolated Galaxy Catalog…
We present an 82 ksec Chandra ACIS-I observation of a large-scale hierarchical complex, which consists of various clusters/groups of galaxies and low-surface brightness X-ray emission at z = 0.247. This high-resolution {\sl Chandra}…
We present an X-ray analysis of the rich cluster ABCG 85 based on ROSAT PSPC data. By applying an improved wavelet analysis, we show that our view of this cluster is notably changed from what was previously believed (a main region and a…
We use new ASCA observations and archival ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) data to determine the X-ray spectral properties of the intracluster gas in Abell 644. From the overall spectrum, we determine the average gas…
A search for X-ray emission from compact groups revealed detection from 8 out of the 12 HCG images extracted from the ROSAT public archive. For two of them the X-ray emission originates from galaxies in the group. On the contrary, three…
An extremely soft X-ray excess throughout galaxy clusters has been claimed as a new feature of these sytems, with important physical implications. We have reexamined this feature in the five clusters for which it has been discussed, using…
We have analyzed Chandra observations of 18 low-luminosity early-type galaxies with L_B < 3 x 10e10 Lo. Thermal emission from hot gas with temperatures between 0.2 and 0.8 keV comprises 5-70% of the total 0.5-2.0 keV emission from these…
The cluster A3627 was recently recognized to be a very massive, nearby cluster in a galaxy survey close to the galactic plane. We are reporting on ROSAT PSPC observations of this object which confirm that the cluster is indeed very massive.…
We present herein a systematic X-ray analysis of blue galaxy-clusters at $z=0.84$ discovered by the Subaru telescope. The sample consisted of 43 clusters identified by combining red-sequence and blue-cloud surveys, covering a wide range of…
We present a spectral analysis of cool and cooling gas in 45 cool-core clusters and groups of galaxies obtained from Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) XMM-$Newton$ observations. The high-resolution spectra show FeXVII emission in many…
ROSAT observations indicate that approximately half of all nearby groups of galaxies contain spatially extended X-ray emission. The radial extent of the X-ray emission is typically 50-500 kpc or approximately 10-50% of the virial radius of…
We observed several nearby face-on spiral galaxies with the ROSAT PSPC to study their 0.1-2.0 keV diffuse emission. After the exclusion of resolved discrete sources, there is unresolved X-ray emission in all the galaxies observed. Since…
We present Suzaku spectra of X-ray emission in the fields just off the LMC X-3 sight line. OVII, OVIII, and NeIX emission lines are clearly detected, suggesting the presence of an optically thin thermal plasma with an average temperature of…
The results from a recent Chandra ACIS-S study of the cluster surrounding Cygnus A are presented. We have deprojected the X-ray spectra taken from various elliptical shells in order to derive the run of temperature, density, pressure, and…
We report on a Chandra observation of the massive, medium redshift (z=0.1386) cooling flow cluster Abell 1068. We detect a clear temperature gradient in the X-ray emitting gas from kT ~ 5 keV in the outer part of the cluster down to roughly…
We use gas-dynamical simulations of galaxy clusters to compare their X-ray and strong lensing properties. Special emphasis is laid on mass estimates. The cluster masses range between 6 x 10^14 solar masses and 4 x 10^15 solar masses, and…
We aim to determine the intrinsic variety, at a given mass, of the properties of the intracluster medium in clusters of galaxies. This requires a cluster sample selected independently of the intracluster medium content for which reliable…
We present the results of a pointed ROSAT PSPC observation of the cluster A3558 which is part of the core of the Shapley Concentration. The X-ray brightness distribution can be fitted as the sum of an elliptical King law, with a major core…
