Effects of Galaxy Formation on Thermodynamics of the Intracluster Medium
Effects of Galaxy Formation on Thermodynamics of the Intracluster Medium
We present detailed comparisons of the intracluster medium (ICM) in cosmological Eulerian cluster simulations with deep Chandra observations of nearby relaxed clusters. To assess the impact of galaxy formation, we compare two sets of simulations, one performed in the non-radiative regime and another with radiative cooling and several physical processes …
