The Effects of Mergers on Relaxed X-ray Clusters

  • This suite of idealized two-body hydrodynamic simulations were constructed to study how galaxy clusrters respond to merger events.
  • Three impact parameters were run for three mass ratios (a total of 9 cases) were run for mergers involving a primary system 1015 solar masses in size.
