Abstract:
We discuss the structure and properties of
galaxy clusters with an emphasis on the
dynamical state of the clusters. We show
that inflowing gas streams play an
important role in determining the
properties of the ICM and whether a cluster
is dynamically relaxed or disturbed. In
addition, collisions of inflowing streams are
shown to be a viable mechanism for
generating shocks and 'Cold Fronts' in the
ICM. The hot ICM, found behind the virial
accretion is shock, is found to extend out to
R_shock = (2□-3)R_vir. This implies that the
influence of the ICM on galaxies in its
vicinity via ram-pressure stripping extends
farther out than previously assumed. In this
way the presence of quenched galaxies,
preferentially discs, at the outskirts of
galaxy clusters can be explained, as well as
the delayed quenching of satellites
compared to central galaxies.
