Clusters and Large-Scale Structure: the Synchrotron Keys (2009)
Rudnick, L., Alexander, P., Andernach, H., Battaglia, N., Brown, S., Brunetti, Gf., ...
For over four decades, synchrotron-radiating sources have played a series of pathfinding roles in the study of galaxy clusters and large scale structure. Such sources are uniquely sensitive to the...
Galaxy Cluster Astrophysics and Cosmology: Questions and Opportunities for the Coming Decade (2009)
Myers, S. T., Pfrommer, C., Aguirre, J., Bond, J. R., Burns, J. O., Clarke, T., ...
We are learning much about how structure forms, in particular how clusters as nodes in the cosmic web evolve and accrete matter, and about the physical processes within these objects. In the next...
Towards the 2020 vision of the baryon content of galaxy groups and clusters (2009)
Kravtsov, A., Gonzalez, A., Vikhlinin, A., Marrone, D., Zabludoff, A., Nagai, D., ...
Groups and clusters of galaxies occupy a special position in the hierarchy of large-scale cosmic structures because they are the largest and the most massive (from ~10^13 Msun to over 10^15 Msun)...
Diffuse baryonic matter beyond 2020 (2009)
Markevitch, M., Nicastro, F., Nulsen, P., Rasia, E., Vikhlinin, A., Kravtsov, A., ...
The hot, diffuse gas that fills the largest overdense structures in the Universe -- clusters of galaxies and a web of giant filaments connecting them -- provides us with tools to address a wide array...
Vikhlinin, A., Kravtsov, A., Forman, W., Jones, C., Markevitch, M., Murray, S. S., ...
We present gas and total mass profiles for 13 low-redshift, relaxed clusters spanning a temperature range 0.7-9 keV, derived from all available Chandra data of sufficient quality. In all clusters,...
