Simulations of galaxy cluster mergers: the dynamics of Abell 3376    [PDF]

Rubens E. G. Machado, Gastão B. Lima Neto
In large scale structure formation, massive systems assemble through the hierarchical merging of less massive ones. Galaxy clusters, being the most massive and thus the most recent collapsed structures, still grow by accreting smaller clusters and groups. In order to investigate the dynamical evolution of the intracluster medium, we perform a set of adiabatic hydrodynamical simulations of binary cluster mergers.
