11 Jan 2007 | | Abstract: | In McCarthy et al. (2007, astro-ph/0701335) we present an analysis of entropy generation during cluster mergers, using SPH simulations. This conference proceeding contribution summarizes some of the most important findings of that paper, without all the technical details. Our main result is that during cluster mergers, entropy is generated in two major shock episodes, that heat the gas from the inside-out, in a way that distributes most of the energy within the more massive clump. This is different from the "onion-skin" model adopted in many simple analytic models of cluster formation. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0701354 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
