We present the results of deep observations of the Ophiuchus cluster of galaxies with INTEGRAL in the 3-80 keV band. We analyse 3 Ms of INTEGRAL data on the Ophiuchus cluster with the IBIS/ISGRI hard X-ray imager and the JEM-X X-ray…
We present here \chandra observations of the rich cluster of galaxies A2256. In addition to the known cool subcluster, a new structure was resolved 2$'$ east of the peak of the main cluster. Its position is roughtly at the center of a…
New BeppoSAX observations of the nearby archetypical starburst galaxies (SBGs) NGC253 and M82 are presented. The main observational result is the unambiguous evidence that the hard (2-10 keV) component is (mostly) produced in both galaxies…
This is a sketch of a 321D approximation for stellar convection which is nonlocal, and thus has nonzero fluxes of KE (to be published in more detail elsewhere). Boundary conditions are discussed in a fluid dynamics context (i.e.,…
The results from Suzaku XIS observations of the relaxed cluster of galaxies Abell2052 are presented. Offset pointing data are used to estimate the Galactic foreground emission in the direction to the cluster. Significant soft X-ray excess…
We have derived azimuthally-averaged radial iron abundance profiles of the X-ray gas contained within 12 clusters of galaxies with redshift 0.03 < z < 0.2 observed with BeppoSAX. We find evidence for a negative metal abundance gradient in…
Results of a 1999 November 16--17 BeppoSAX observation of the low-mass X-ray binary X2127+119 located in the globular cluster NGC7078 are presented. The system is believed to be one where the central neutron star is normally obscured by the…
The nearby ($z=0.03015$) cluster of galaxies Abell~2199 was observed by Suzaku in X-rays, with five pointings for $\sim 20$ ks each. From the XIS data, the temperature and metal abundance profiles were derived out to $\sim 700$ kpc (0.4…
We present an analysis of BeppoSAX observations of three clusters of galaxies which are amongst the most luminous in the Universe: RXJ1347-1145, Zwicky 3146 and Abell 2390. Using data from both the Low Energy (LECS) and Medium Energy (MECS)…
Since the first non-thermal reports of inverse Compton (IC) emission from the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters at hard X-ray energies, we have yet to unambiguously confirm IC emission in observations with newer facilities. RXTE…
Clusters of galaxies are believed to contain a significant population of cosmic rays. From the radio and probably hard X-ray bands it is known that clusters are the spatially most extended emitters of non-thermal radiation in the Universe.…
The ISOPHOT instrument aboard ISO has been used to observe extended FIR emission of six Abell clusters. The raw profiles of the I_(120 um) / I_(180 um) surface brightness ratio including zodiacal light show a bump towards Abell 1656 (Coma),…
The Coma cluster of galaxies hosts the brightest radio halo known and has therefore been the target of numerous searches for associated inverse Compton (IC) emission, particularly at hard X-ray energies where the IC signal must eventually…
The central mass distribution of clusters of galaxies can be inferred from gravitationally lensed arcs with known redshifts. For the Abell cluster 2218, this method yields a core mass which is larger by a factor of $2.5 \pm 0.5$ than the…
RASS data near the North Galactic Pole was analyzed in order to study the large-scale distribution of soft X-ray emission from the Coma cluster. These RASS data constitute the only available X-ray observations of Coma that feature an in…
We present the projected metallicity profiles for a sample of 17 rich galaxy clusters observed by BeppoSAX. We find that the 8 non-cooling flow clusters have flat metallicity profiles. On the contrary, a strong enhancement in the abundance…
We present the diffuse X-ray emission identified in Chandra observations of the young, massive Galactic star cluster Westerlund 1. After removing point-like X-ray sources down to a completeness limit of 2e31 erg/s, we identify 3e34 erg/s…
We have undertaken a search for the infrared emission from the intracluster dust in the Coma cluster of galaxies by the Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer. Our observations yield the deepest mid and far-infrared images of a galaxy…
In this paper we present the analysis of Beppo-SAX observations of the cluster pairs A2061-A2067 and A2122-A2124, located in the Corona Borealis supercluster, which have been selected as candidate merging clusters. The aim of this work is…
[Abridged] We consider two clusters (A496 and Coma) that are representative of the two classes of cool-core and non-cool-core clusters. We first refer to a two-component dynamical model that ignores the contribution from the galaxy density…
