Su, Y., Nulsen, P. E., Kraft, R. P., Roediger, E., Zuhone, J. A., Jones, C., Forman, W. R., Sheardown, A., Irwin, J. A., & Randall, S. W. (2017). Gas sloshing regulates and records the evolution of the Fornax Cluster. The Astrophysical journal, 851(1), 69. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aa989e

We present results of a joint Chandra and XMM-Newton analysis of the Fornax Cluster, the nearest galaxy cluster in the southern sky. Signatures of merger-induced gas sloshing can be seen in the X-ray image. We identify four sloshing cold fronts in th...

We present results from a deep (200 ks) Chandra observation of the early-type galaxy NGC 4552 (M89) which is falling into the Virgo cluster. Previous shallower X-ray observations of this galaxy showed a remnant gas core, a tail to the South of the ga... Read More about Stripped elliptical galaxies as probes of ICM physics : III.

In the local Universe, the growth of massive galaxy clusters mainly operates through the continuous accretion of group-scale systems. The infalling group in Abell 2142 is the poster child of such an accreting group, and as such, it is an ideal target...

Molecular gas dominated 50 kpc ram pressure stripped tail of the Coma galaxy D100 (2017)
Journal Article

We have discovered large amounts of molecular gas, as traced by CO emission, in the ram pressure stripped gas tail of the Coma cluster galaxy D100 (GMP 2910), out to large distances of about 50 kpc. D100 has a 60 kpc long, strikingly narrow tail whic... Read More about Molecular gas dominated 50 kpc ram pressure stripped tail of the Coma galaxy D100.
