We simulate the formation of a large X-ray cluster using a fully 3D hydrodynamical code coupled to a Particle-Mesh scheme which models the dark matter component. We focus on a possible decoupling between electrons and ions temperatures. We then solve the energy transfer equations between electrons, ions and neutrals without assuming thermal equilibrium between the three gases (T_e <> T_i <> T_n). We solve self-consistently the chemical equations for an hydrogen/helium primordial plasma without assuming ionization-recombination equilibrium. We find that the electron temperature differs from the true dynamical temperature by 20% at the Virial radius of our simulated cluster. This could lead marginally to an underestimate of the total mass in the outer regions of large X-ray clusters.

$renewcommand{Re}{mathbb{R}}$Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $Re^d$, consider the problem of computing $k$ subsets of $P$ that form clusters that are well-separated from each other, and each of them is large (cardinality wise). We provide tight uppe
r and lower bounds, and corresponding algorithms, on the quality of separation, and the size of the clusters that can be computed, as a function of $n,d,k,s$, and $Phi$, where $s$ is the desired separation, and $Phi$ is the spread of the point set $P$.
We present first strong observational evidence that the X-ray cool-core bias or the apparent bias in the abundance of relaxed clusters is absent in our REFLEX volume-limited sample (ReVols). We show that these previously observed biases are due to th
e survey selection method such as for an flux-limited survey, and are not due to the inherent nature of X-ray selection. We also find that the X-ray luminosity distributions of clusters for the relaxed and for the disturbed clusters are distinct and a displacement of approximately 60 per cent is required to match two distributions. Our results suggest that to achieve more precise scaling relation one may need to take the morphology of clusters and their fractional abundance into account.
Self-synchronization is a ubiquitous phenomenon in nature, in which oscillators are collectively locked in frequency and phase through mutual interactions. While self-synchronization requires the forced excitation of at least one of the oscillators,
we demonstrate that this mechanism spontaneously appears due to the activation from thermal fluctuations. By performing molecular dynamic simulations, we demonstrate the self-synchronization of thermal phonons in a platform supporting doped silicon resonators. We find that thermal phonons are spontaneously converging to the same frequency and phase. In addition, the dependencies to intrinsic frequency difference and coupling strength agree well with the Kuramoto model predictions. More interestingly, we find that a balance between energy dissipation resulting from phonon-phonon scattering and potential energy between oscillators is required to maintain synchronization. Finally, a wavelet transform approach corroborates the generation of coherent thermal phonons in the collective state of oscillators. Our study provides a new perspective on self-synchronization and on the relationship between fluctuations and coherence.
A recent study has presented marginal statistical evidence that gamma-ray burst sources are correlated with Abell clusters, based on analyses of bursts in the BATSE 3B catalog. Using precise localization information from the 3rd Interplanetary Networ
k, we have reanalyzed this possible correlation. We find that most of the Abell clusters which are in the relatively large 3B error circles are not in the much smaller IPN/BATSE error regions. We believe that this argues strongly against an Abell cluster-gamma-ray burst correlation.
We report on the first results from a redshift survey of a flux-limited sample of X-ray clusters selected serendipitously from the ROSAT PSPC data archive. We spectroscopically confirm 15 clusters in the range 0.3 < z < 0.7, to a flux limit of ~ 3.9
x 10^-14 erg s^-1 cm^-2, over a survey area of 17.2 deg^2. The surface density of clusters in our survey is 2.0 (+0.4,-0.3) deg^-2, in good agreement with the number density of cluster candidates detected using algorithms designed to search for very extended sources. The number of clusters detected between 0.3 < z < 0.7 is consistent with a prediction based on a simple extrapolation of the local X-ray cluster luminosity function, which indicates that over this redshift range no significant evolution in the cluster population has taken place. These results are in conflict with recent claims that the number density of X-ray clusters found in deep ROSAT PSPC pointings evolves rapidly beyond z = 0.3.
