X-ray/optical analysis of the cluster of galaxies Abell 1300: indications of a post-merger at z=0.31.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present ROSAT PSPC and HRI observations of the distant cluster A 1300 (z=0.3071) in conjunction with optical data, to investigate the physics of the intra-cluster medium and the dynamical state of the cluster. By means of a multi-resolution wavelet analysis, we find evidence for structures in the X-ray emission of this very luminous (LX∼1.7x1045erg/s in the 0.1-2.4keV band) and massive (Mtot∼1.3x1015M☉ at a radius ∼2.2Mpc) cluster. This cluster is significant as we appear to be witnessing the end of a merger which occurred at an early epoch.
