New X-ray observations reveal colliding galaxy clusters in detail

Original: Today in # astronomy Beautiful deep XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the X-ray emission in two famous merging pair

Astronomers led by HyeongHan et al. have published deep XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the X-ray emission from two well-known merging pairs of galaxy clusters that also host large-scale radio emission known as radio relics. The findings, shared in a paper on arXiv, offer new detail on how hot gas behaves during cluster collisions.

Why now: Space researchers and enthusiasts are discussing a fresh study combining major X-ray telescope data on famous cluster mergers.
