We present results from a BeppoSAX observation of the cooling flow cluster PKS 0745-191 (z=0.1028). By performing spatially resolved spectroscopy, we find that the projected temperature profile is consistent with being constant. We can rule out, at more than the 99% confidence level, a temperature decrement of a factor 2 when going from the cluster core out to 1.2 Mpc. On the contrary, the projected metal abundance is found to drop from 0.4 (solar units) within the cluster core to 0.2 (solar units) at radii larger than 300 kpc, this decrement is significant at more than the 99.9% confidence level.

We use new Suzaku observations of PKS 0745-191 to measure the thermodynamic properties of its ICM out to and beyond r_{200} (reaching 1.25r_{200}) with better accuracy than previously achieved, owing to a more accurate and better understood backgroun d model. We investigate and resolve the tensions between the previous Suzaku and ROSAT results for PKS 0745-191, which are found to be principally caused by incorrect background modelling in the previous Suzaku analysis. We investigate in depth the systematic errors affecting this observation, and present temperature, density, entropy and gas mass fraction profiles reaching out to and beyond the virial radius. We find that the entropy profile flattens in the outskirts as originally observed in the previous Suzaku analysis, but that the flattening starts at larger radius. The flattening of the entropy profile and our mass analysis suggests that outside ~17 (~1.9 Mpc) the ICM is out of hydrostatic equilibrium or the presence of significant non-thermal pressure support.
We examine high signal to noise XMM-Newton European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) and Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) observations to determine the physical characteristics of the gas in the cool core and outskirts of the nearby rich cluster A31 12. The XMM-Newton Extended Source Analysis Software data reduction and background modeling methods were used to analyze the XMM- Newton EPIC data. From the EPIC data we find that the iron and silicon abundance gradients show significant increase towards the center of the cluster while the oxygen abundance profile is centrally peaked but has a shallower distribution than that of iron. The X-ray mass modeling is based on the temperature and deprojected density distributions of the intra-cluster medium determined from EPIC observations. The total mass of A3112 obeys the M-T scaling relations found using XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of massive clusters at R500. The gas mass fraction f_gas= 0.149^{+0.036}_{-0.032} at R500, is consistent with the seven-year WMAP results. The comparisons of line fluxes and flux limits on the Fe XVII and Fe XVIII lines obtained from high resolution RGS spectra indicate that there is no spectral evidence for cooler gas associated with the cluster with temperature below 1.0 keV in the central <38 (sim 52 kpc) region of A3112. High resolution RGS spectra also yield an upper limit to the turbulent motions in compact core of A3112 (206 km/s). We find that the energy contribution of turbulence to total energy is less than 6 per cent. This upper limit is consistent with the amount of energy contribution measured in recent high resolution simulations of relaxed galaxy clusters.

The long-slit spectra obtained along the minor axis, offset major axis and diagonal axis are presented for 12 E and S0 galaxies of the Coma cluster drawn from a magnitude-limited sample studied before. The rotation curves, velocity dispersion profile s and the H_3 and H_4 coefficients of the Hermite decomposition of the line of sight velocity distribution are derived. The radial profiles of the Hbeta, Mg, and Fe line strength indices are measured too. In addition, the surface photometry of the central regions of a subsample of 4 galaxies recently obtained with Hubble Space Telescope is presented. The data will be used to construct dynamical models of the galaxies and study their stellar populations.
We present [CII] 158um measurements from over 15,000 resolved regions within 54 nearby galaxies of the KINGFISH program to investigate the so-called [CII] line cooling deficit long known to occur in galaxies with different luminosities. The [CII]/TIR ratio ranges from above 1% to below 0.1% in the sample, with a mean value of 0.48+-0.21%. We find that the surface density of 24um emission dominates this trend, with [CII]/TIR dropping as nuInu{24um} increases. Deviations from this overall decline are correlated with changes in the gas phase metal abundance, with higher metallicity associated with deeper deficits at a fixed surface brightness. We supplement the local sample with resolved [CII] measurements from nearby luminous infrared galaxies and high redshift sources from z=1.8-6.4, and find that star formation rate density drives a continuous trend of deepening [CII] deficit across six orders of magnitude in SFRD. The tightness of this correlation suggests that an approximate star formation rate density can be estimated directly from global measurements of [CII]/TIR, and a relation is provided to do so. Several low-luminosity AGN hosts in the sample show additional and significant central suppression of [CII]/TIR, but these deficit enhancements occur not in those AGN with the highest X-ray luminosities, but instead those with the highest central starlight intensities. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the [CII] cooling line deficit in galaxies likely arises from local physical phenomena in interstellar gas.

We have carried out scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements on exfoliated monolayer graphene on SiO$_2$ to probe the correlation between its electronic and structural properties. Maps of the local density of states are characterized by electron and hole puddles that arise due to long range intravalley scattering from intrinsic ripples in graphene and random charged impurities. At low energy, we observe short range intervalley scattering which we attribute to lattice defects. Our results demonstrate that the electronic properties of graphene are influenced by intrinsic ripples, defects and the underlying SiO$_2$ substrate.
