The narrow X-ray tail and double Hα tails of ESO 137-002 in A3627 (2013)
Journal Article
Zhang, B., Sun, M., Ji, L., Sarazin, C., Lin, X. B., Nulsen, P. E. J., …Kong, X. (2013). The narrow X-ray tail and double Hα tails of ESO 137-002 in A3627. The Astrophysical journal, 777(2), Article 122. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637x/777/2/122

We present the analysis of a deep Chandra observation of a ~2 L * late-type galaxy, ESO 137-002, in the closest rich cluster A3627. The Chandra data reveal a long (gsim40 kpc) and narrow tail with a nearly constant width (~3 kpc) to the southeast of...

Viscous Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in highly ionised plasmas (2013)
Journal Article
Roediger, E., Kraft, R. P., Nulsen, P., Churazov, E., Forman, W., Brüggen, M., & Kokotanekova, R. (2013). Viscous Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities in highly ionised plasmas. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 436(2), 1721-1740. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stt1691

Transport coefficients in highly ionised plasmas like the intra-cluster medium (ICM) are still ill-constrained. They influence various processes, among them the mixing at shear flow interfaces due to the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI). The observ...

Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities at the sloshing cold fronts in the Virgo cluster as a measure for the effective ICM viscosity (2013)
Journal Article
Roediger, E., Kraft, R. P., Forman, W. R., E. J. Nulsen, P., & Churazov, E. (2013). Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities at the sloshing cold fronts in the Virgo cluster as a measure for the effective ICM viscosity. The Astrophysical journal, 764(1), Article 60. https://doi.org/10.1088/0004-637X/764/1/60

Sloshing cold fronts (CFs) arise from minor merger triggered gas sloshing. Their detailed structure depends on the properties of the intra-cluster medium (ICM): hydrodynamical simulations predict the CFs to be distorted by Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilit...
