A Dynamic View of Galaxy Clusters – From the Cores to the Outskirts

张从尧 (University of Chicago)

Abstract：

Galaxy clusters, as massive, virialized halos within the cosmic web, serve as ideal laboratories for advancing our understanding of cosmology, plasma physics, and the nature of dark matter. The study of their formation and evolution stands as one of the frontiers of modern astrophysics. In this talk, I will cover several key topics in cluster studies, from the activities of supermassive black holes at cluster centers to accretion and violent mergers at the outskirts. I will demonstrate the power of idealized numerical simulations in exploring the physical processes within clusters, such as feedback, turbulence, shocks, and halo virialization. Additionally, I will discuss several X-ray missions/mission concepts (e.g., XRISM, LEM), highlighting our recent progress in understanding turbulence in the Perseus cluster using new XRISM data.

· He is actively involved in multiple international teams for the development of X-ray missions/mission concepts, such as XRISM, LEM, and Athena.
