We present preliminary Chandra results on z=0.2 clusters A665, A2163 and A2218, and a z=0.05 cluster A754. For A754, A665 and A2163, we have derived first high-resolution projected gas temperature maps. All three show strong spatial…
We study the temperature structure of the rich cluster of galaxies Abell 1367 using two independent methods of correcting for the ASCA PSF. The results of the two methods are in excellent agreement and give solid evidence of a strong and…
We present the first band-2 (120--250\,MHz) uGMRT (upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope) observations of the bimodal galaxy cluster Abell\,1644 (\(z = 0.0471\)), complemented by Chandra X-ray data. While weak lensing measurements reveal…
We use Chandra data to map the gas temperature in the central region of the merging cluster A2142. The cluster is markedly nonisothermal; it appears that the central cooling flow has been disturbed but not destroyed by a merger. The X-ray…
We present the results of deep 140 ks Suzaku X-ray observations of the north-east (NE) radio relic of the merging galaxy cluster Abell2255. The temperature structure of Abell2255 is measured out to 0.9 times the virial radius (1.9 Mpc) in…
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…
We present a combined X-ray and optical analysis of the cold front cluster Abell 1201 using archival Chandra, data and multi-object spectroscopy taken with the 3.9m Anglo Australian and 6.5m Multiple Mirror Telescopes. This paper represents…
We present results from a BeppoSAX observation of the cooling flow cluster Abell 2029. The broad band spectrum (2-35 keV) of the cluster, when fitted with a model including a cooling flow component and a one temperature thermal component,…
ACO2163 is one of the hottest (mean $kT=12-15.5$ keV) and extremely X-ray overluminous merging galaxy clusters which is located at $z=0.203$. The cluster hosts one of the largest giant radio halos which are observed in most of the merging…
We present a detailed optical analysis of the galaxy cluster A2163 based on new multicolor wide field imaging and medium-to-high resolution (R~2000) spectroscopy. While X-ray observations have revealed that merging processes are present in…
New radio and X-ray data are reported for the rich cluster Abell 2255. The cluster radio emission is characterized by the presence of a diffuse halo source, located at the cluster center, and a more peripheral ridge of radio emission which…
We present 13.9-18.2 GHz observations of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect towards Abell 2146 using the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI). The cluster is detected with a peak SNR ratio of 13 sigma in the radio source subtracted map.…
We address the consistency between ASCA and ROSAT spatially-resolved cluster temperature measurements, which is of significant interest given the recent ASCA reports of temperature gradients in several hot clusters. We reanalyze ROSAT PSPC…
We present deep XMM-Newton, Karl Jansky Very Large Array, and upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope observations of Abell 746, a cluster that hosts a plethora of diffuse emission sources that provide evidence for the acceleration of…
We present results from an X-ray and radio study of the merging galaxy cluster Abell 115. We use the full set of 5 Chandra observations taken of A115 to date (360 ks total integration) to construct high-fidelity temperature and surface…
We present an analysis of a Chandra observation of Abell 2034. The cluster has multiple signatures of an ongoing merger, including a cold front and probable significant heating of the intracluster medium above its equilibrium temperature.…
We measure the X-ray temperature (and luminosity) with ASCA of all but one cluster in the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) high redshift (z > 0.3) sample. We compare these data to a complete sample of low redshift clusters…
We present Chandra gas temperature maps for two hot, intermediate-redshift clusters A665 and A2163. Both show strong temperature variations in their central r=1 Mpc regions, naturally interpreted as product of the subcluster mergers. The…
A Chandra observation of the non-cooling flow cluster A 1060 has confirmed that the hot intracluster medium has fairly uniform distributions of temperature and metal abundance from a radius of about 230 kpc to the central 5 kpc region (H_0=…
Abell 754 is a galaxy cluster in which an ongoing merger is evident on the plane of the sky, from the southeast to the northwest. We study the spatial variation of the X-ray spectra observed with Suzaku along the merging direction,…
