Radio Triggered Star Formation in Cooling Flows | | B. R. McNamara
; | | Date: |
8 Nov 1999 | | Journal: | New Astron.Rev. 46 (2002) 141-148 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Abstract: | The giant galaxies located at the centers of cluster cooling flows are frequently sites of vigorous star formation. In some instances, star formation appears to have been triggered by the galaxy’s radio source. The colors and spectral indices of the young populations are generally consistent with short duration bursts or continuous star formation for durations much less than 1 Gyr, which is less than the presumed ages of cooling flows. The star formation properties are inconsistent with fueling by a continuously accreting cooling flow, although the prevalence of star formation is consistent with repeated bursts and periodic refueling. Star formation may be fueled, in some cases, by cold material stripped from neighboring cluster galaxies. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/9911129 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
