An excess over the extrapolation to the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray ranges of the thermal emission from the hot intracluster
medium has been detected in a number of clusters of galaxies. We briefly present each of the satellites (EUVE, ROSAT PSPC
and BeppoSAX, and presently XMM-Newton, Chandra and Suzaku) and their corresponding instrumental issues, which are responsible
for the fact that this soft excess remains controversial in a number of cases. We then review the evidence for this soft X-ray
excess and discuss the possible mechanisms (thermal and non-thermal) which could be responsible for this emission. 相似文献

In the context of the ESA Climate Change Initiative project, a new coastal sea level altimetry product has been developed in order to support advances in coastal sea level variability studies. Measurements from Jason-1,2&3 missions have been retracked with the Adaptive Leading Edge Subwaveform (ALES) Retracker and then ingested in the X-TRACK software with the best possible set of altimetry corrections. These two coastal altimetry processing approaches, previously successfully validated and applied to coastal sea level research, are combined here for the first time in order to derive a 16-year-long (June 2002 to May 2018), high-resolution (20-Hz), along-track sea level dataset in six regions: Northeast Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, West Africa, North Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia and Australia. The study demonstrates that this new coastal sea level product called X-TRACK/ALES is able to extend the spatial coverage of sea level altimetry data ~3.5 km in the land direction, when compared to the X-TRACK 1-Hz dataset. We also observe a large improvement in coastal sea level data availability from Jason-1 to Jason-3, with data at 3.6 km, 1.9 km and 0.9 km to the coast on average, for Jason-1, Jason-2 and Jason-3, respectively. When combining measurements from Jason-1 to Jason-3, we reach a distance of 1.2–4 km to the coast. When compared to tide gauge data, the accuracy of the new altimetry near-shore sea level estimations also improves. In terms of correlations with a large set of independent tide gauge observations selected in the six regions, we obtain an average value of 0.77. We also show that it is now possible to derive from the X-TRACK/ALES product an estimation of the ocean current variability up to 5 km to the coast. This new altimetry dataset, freely available, will provide a valuable contribution of altimetry in coastal marine research community. 相似文献

Large-scale structure formation, accretion and merging processes, AGN activity produce cosmological gas shocks. The shocks
convert a fraction of the energy of gravitationally accelerated flows to internal energy of the gas. Being the main gas-heating
agent, cosmological shocks could amplify magnetic fields and accelerate energetic particles via the multi-fluid plasma relaxation
processes. We first discuss the basic properties of standard single-fluid shocks. Cosmological plasma shocks are expected
to be collisionless. We then review the plasma processes responsible for the microscopic structure of collisionless shocks.
A tiny fraction of the particles crossing the shock is injected into the non-thermal energetic component that could get a
substantial part of the ram pressure power dissipated at the shock. The energetic particles penetrate deep into the shock
upstream producing an extended shock precursor. Scaling relations for postshock ion temperature and entropy as functions of
shock velocity in strong collisionless multi-fluid shocks are discussed. We show that the multi-fluid nature of collisionless
shocks results in excessive gas compression, energetic particle acceleration, precursor gas heating, magnetic field amplification
and non-thermal emission. Multi-fluid shocks provide a reduced gas entropy production and could also modify the observable
thermodynamic scaling relations for clusters of galaxies. 相似文献

We discuss the different physical processes that are important to understand the thermal X-ray emission and absorption spectra
of the diffuse gas in clusters of galaxies and the warm-hot intergalactic medium. The ionisation balance, line and continuum
emission and absorption properties are reviewed and several practical examples are given that illustrate the most important
diagnostic features in the X-ray spectra. 相似文献

We present the work of an international team at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern that worked together
to review the current observational and theoretical status of the non-virialised X-ray emission components in clusters of
galaxies. The subject is important for the study of large-scale hierarchical structure formation and to shed light on the
“missing baryon” problem. The topics of the team work include thermal emission and absorption from the warm-hot intergalactic
medium, non-thermal X-ray emission in clusters of galaxies, physical processes and chemical enrichment of this medium and
clusters of galaxies, and the relationship between all these processes. One of the main goals of the team is to write and
discuss a series of review papers on this subject. These reviews are intended as introductory text and reference for scientists
wishing to work actively in this field. The team consists of sixteen experts in observations, theory and numerical simulations. 相似文献

We have analyzed XMM-Newton archive data for five clusters of galaxies (redshifts 0.223–0.313) covering a wide range of dynamical states, from relaxed objects to clusters undergoing several mergers. We present here temperature maps of the X-ray gas together with a preliminary interpretation of the formation history of these clusters. 相似文献

Because of their deep gravitational potential wells, clusters of galaxies retain all the metals produced by the stellar populations
of the member galaxies. Most of these metals reside in the hot plasma which dominates the baryon content of clusters. This
makes them excellent laboratories for the study of the nucleosynthesis and chemical enrichment history of the Universe. Here
we review the history, current possibilities and limitations of the abundance studies, and the present observational status
of X-ray measurements of the chemical composition of the intra-cluster medium. We summarise the latest progress in using the
abundance patterns in clusters to put constraints on theoretical models of supernovae and we show how cluster abundances provide
new insights into the star-formation history of the Universe. 相似文献
