Evolutions of X-ray clusters of galaxies are studied by N-body (shell model) + mesh code (TVD) simulations on the assumption of spherical symmetry. We consider a density perturbation of $10^{15} M_{\odot}$ composed of dark matter and gas in…
Detailed 3-D numerical simulations of an elliptical galaxy orbiting in a gas-rich cluster of galaxies indicate that gas dynamic stripping is less efficient than the results from previous, simpler calculations (Takeda et al. 1984; Gaetz et…
The degree of complexity and, to a somewhat lesser degree, realism in simulations has advanced rapidly in the past few years. The simplest approach - modeling a cluster as collisionless dark matter and collisonal, non--radiative gas is now…
In order to study the capabilities of SPH in self-gravitating hydrodynamical problems, we have performed a series of three-dimensional numerical simulations of the collapse of a rotating homogeneous cloud, varying the number of particles…
Bolometric and 0.2-2 keV X-ray luminosities of the hot gas haloes of simulated disc galaxies have been calculated at redshift z=0. The TreeSPH simulations are fully cosmological and the sample of 44 disc galaxies span a range in…
A new model for cooling flows in X-ray clusters, capable of naturally explaining salient features observed, is proposed. The only requirement is that a significant relativistic component, in the form of cosmic rays (CR), be present in the…
This is the third in a series of papers studying the astrophysics and cosmology of massive, dynamically relaxed galaxy clusters. Our sample comprises 40 clusters identified as being dynamically relaxed and hot (i.e., massive) in Papers I…
We report the application of a new Monte Carlo method, Smoothed Particle Inference (SPI, described in a pair of companion papers), towards analysis and interpretation of X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies with the XMM-Newton…
We use high-resolution hydrodynamic re-simulations to investigate the properties of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect from galaxy clusters. We compare results obtained using different physical models for the intracluster medium…
It has become increasingly apparent that traditional hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy clusters are unable to reproduce the observed properties of galaxy clusters, in particular overpredicting the mass corresponding to a given cluster…
Modern hydrodynamical simulations offer nowadays a powerful means to trace the evolution of the X-ray properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM) during the cosmological history of the hierarchical build up of galaxy clusters. In this…
We introduce and test a new and highly efficient method for treating the thermal and radiative effects influencing the energy equation in SPH simulations of star formation. The method uses the density, temperature and gravitational…
Using the full, three-dimensional potential of galaxy cluster halos (drawn from an N-body simulation of the current, most favored cosmology), the distribution of the X-ray emitting gas is found by assuming a polytropic equation of state and…
We compare the results of two techniques used to calculate the evolution of cooling gas during galaxy formation: Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations and semi-analytic modelling. We improve upon the earlier statistical comparison…
The exploitation of clusters of galaxies as cosmological probes relies on accurate measurements of their total gravitating mass. X-ray observations provide a powerful means of probing the total mass distribution in galaxy clusters, but…
The cooling cores of clusters of galaxies are among the brightest thermal X-ray line sources in the universe. High resolution X-ray spectra would allow individual line fluxes to be measured. The fluxes of low ionization X-ray lines in…
Using current semi-analytic models of structure and star formation based on hierarchical clustering, we connect the cosmic star formation rate (SFR) to the X-ray emission properties of groups and clusters of galaxies. We show that when the…
There has been extensive recent progress in X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies with the analysis of the entire ASCA database and recent new results from Beppo-SAX, Chandra, and XMM-Newton. The temperature profiles of most clusters…
Hydrodynamic equations are used to identify the final state reached by a freely evolving granular gas above but close to its shear instability. The theory predicts the formation of a two bands shear state with a steady density profile.…
We describe a theoretical framework to compute the cluster gas distribution in hydrostatic equilibrium embedded in a class of spherical dark matter halo potentials. Unlike the conventional isothermal $\beta$-model, the present method…
