SAS 3 and related observations of Abell 2029.
Abstract
X-ray and radio observations of the cluster of galaxies show that the central cD galaxy dominates the emissions. Resolution of the X-ray source shows that its extent is significantly greater than that of the profile of surface brightness of the cD galaxy. Dressler's model of most of the cluster mass with very high M/L(v) is similarly extended. The optically dark mass may provide low-energy X-ray emission of the coronae of 5 x 10 to the 16th stars with very high M/L(v), but in the 2-10 keV range the data are consistent with current theoretical predictions for hot intracluster gas.
