The fraction of cooling flow clusters at z~0.2-0.4
Abstract
Observations of nearby clusters of galaxies indicate that the peaked surface brightness of cooling flows is a very natural occurence, residing in 70--90% of X-ray bright clusters with z⪉0.1. We will present results from an ongoing study to extend this measurement to z∼0.4 using high-resolution Chandra observations and discuss the ramifications this work has on the evolution of cooling flows.
