A study of diffusive shock acceleration as a process explaining observations of 1 E0657-56 galaxy cluster
Abstract
Description
Chandra X-ray observations of the 1 E0657-56 galaxy cluster diffuse emission reveal the existence of large scale cluster merger shock. We study the observed radio and X-ray data of this cluster as a possible result of the diffusive shock acceleration. This model can explain the observations within reasonable ranges of physical parameters for the shock and the intracluster medium. The expected nonthermal soft and hard X-ray fluxes are predicted.
