Somewhere between the galaxy clusters that dot the observable universe, enormous threads of hot, diffuse gas stretch across ...
Magnetic fields thread through galaxy clusters and stretch along cosmic filaments spanning hundreds of millions of light-years. They deflect cosmic rays, shape star formation, and influence the ...
Astronomers have explained how a galaxy cluster maintains its heat, despite emitting X-rays that cool the hot gas at its center. The group discovered the existence of a fast-moving, high-temperature ...
Artist’s impression of the center of the Centaurus Cluster. Blue shows a vast flow of hot gas, white shows galaxies, and reddish brown shows cool gas. Tokyo, Japan – The XRISM collaboration have ...
The XRISM science team, including members of Nagoya University, has explained how galaxy clusters maintain their heat despite emitting X-rays, which typically have a cooling effect on the hot gas. By ...
