Description
The reviews presented in this volume cover a huge range of cluster of galaxies topics. Readers will find the book essential reading on subjects such as the physics of the ICM gas, the internal cluster dynamics, and the detection of clusters using different observational techniques. The expert chapter authors also cover the huge advances being made in analytical or numerical modeling of clusters, weak and strong lensing effects, and the large scale structure as traced by clusters. 1. Gas Dynamics in Clusters of Galaxies. 2. Dynamics of the Hot Intracluster Medium. 3. Dynamics of Galaxies and Cluster of Galaxies. 4. Optical Detection of Clusters of Galaxies. 5. Clusters of Galaxies in the Radio: Relativistic Plasma and ICM/Radio Galaxy Interaction Processes. 6. Metal Content and Production in Clusters of Galaxies. 7. Gravitational Lensing by Clusters of Galaxies. 8. The Sunyaev-Zel’dovich Effect in Cosmology and Cluster Physics. 9. Cosmology with Clusters of Galaxies. 10. Clusters and the Theory of the Cosmic Web. 11. Observations and Morphology of the Cosmic Web.
