Clusters of galaxies are outstanding laboratories for understanding the physics of supermassive black hole feedback. Here, we present the first textit{Chandra}, Karl G. Janksy Very Large Array and textit{Hubble Space Telescope} analysis of MACS J1447.4+0827 ($z = 0.3755$), one of the strongest cool core clusters known, in which extreme feedback from its central supermassive black hole is needed to prevent the hot intracluster gas from cooling. Using this multiwavelength approach, including 70 ks of textit{Chandra} X-ray observations, we detect the presence of collimated jetted-outflows that coincides with a southern and a northern X-ray cavity. The total mechanical power associated with these outflows ($P_{mathrm{cav}} approx 6 times 10^{44}$ erg s$^{-1}$) is roughly consistent with the energy required to prevent catastrophic cooling of the hot intracluster gas ($L_{mathrm{cool}} = 1.71 pm 0.01 times 10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$ for t$_mathrm{cool}$ = 7.7 Gyrs); implying that powerful supermassive black hole feedback has been in place several Giga-years ago in MACS J1447.7+0827. In addition, we detect the presence of a radio mini-halo that extends over 300 kpc in diameter ($P_{1.4 mathrm{GHz}} = 3.0 pm 0.3 times 10^{24}$ W Hz$^{-1}$). The X-ray observations also reveal a $sim20$ kpc plume-like structure that coincides with optical dusty filaments that surround the central galaxy. Overall, this study demonstrates that the various physical phenomena occurring in the most nearby clusters of galaxies are also occurring in their more distant analogues.

We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the core of the massive galaxy cluster MACS,J0417.5-1154 ($z = 0.441$; MACS;J0417). Our analysis takes advantage of VLT/MUSE observations which allow the spectroscopic confirmation of three strongly-lensed sy
stems. One of these, nick-named emph{The Doughnut}, consists of three complete images of a complex ring galaxy at $z = 0.8718$ and a fourth, partial and radial image close to the Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG) only discernible thanks to its strong [OII] line emission. The best-fit mass model (rms of 0.38arcsec) yields a two-dimensional enclosed mass of $M({rm R < 200,kpc}) = (1.77pm0.03)times10^{14},msun$ and almost perfect alignment between the peaks of the BCG light and the dark matter of ($0.5pm0.5$)arcsec . Our finding that a significant misalignment results when the radial image of emph{The Doughnut} is omitted serves as an important caveat for studies of BCG-dark matter offsets in galaxy clusters. Using emph{Chandra} data to map the intra-cluster gas, we observe an offset between the gas and dark-matter peaks of ($1.7pm0.5$)arcsec, and excellent alignment of the X-ray peak with the location of optical emission line associated with the BCG. We interpret all observational evidence in the framework of on-going merger activity, noting specifically that the coincidence between the gas peak and the peak of blue light from the BCG may be evidence of dense, cold gas leading to direct star formation. We use the surface area $sigma_{mu}$ above a given magnification factor $mu$ as a metric to estimate the lensing power of MACS,J0417. We obtain $sigma(mu > 3) = 0.22$,arcmin$^2$ confirming MACS,J0417 as an efficient gravitational lens. Finally, we discuss the differences between our mass model and Mahler et al. (2018).
We investigate the dust-obscured star formation properties of the massive, X-ray selected galaxy cluster MACS J1931.8-2634 at $z$=0.352. Using far-infrared (FIR) imaging in the range 100-500$mu$m obtained with the textit{Herschel} telescope, we extra
ct 31 sources (2$sigma$) within $rsim$1 Mpc from the brightest cluster galaxy (BCG). Among these sources we identify six cluster members for which we perform an analysis of their spectral energy distributions (SEDs). We measure total infrared luminosity (L$_{IR}$), star formation rate (SFR) and dust temperature. The BCG, with L$_{IR}$=1.4$times$10$^{12}$L$_odot$ is an Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxy and hosts a type II AGN. We decompose its FIR SED into AGN and starburst components and find equal contributions from AGN and starburst. We also recompute the SFR of the BCG finding SFR=150$pm$15 M$_odot$yr$^{-1}$. We search for an isobaric cooling flow in the cool core using {sl Chandra} X-ray data, and find no evidence for gas colder than 1.8 keV in the inner 30 kpc, for an upper limit to the istantaneous mass-deposition rate of 58 M$_odot$yr$^{-1}$ at 95 % c.l. This value is $3times$ lower than the SFR in the BCG, suggesting that the on-going SF episode lasts longer than the ICM cooling events.
The central region of the Milky Way provides a unique laboratory for a systematic, spatially-resolved population study of evolved massive stars of various types in a relatively high metallicity environment. We have conducted a multi-wavelength data a
nalysis of 180 such stars or candidates, most of which were drawn from a recent large-scale HST/NICMOS narrow-band Pa-a survey, plus additional 14 Wolf-Rayet stars identified in earlier ground-based spectroscopic observations of the same field. The multi-wavelength data include broad-band IR photometry measurements from HST/NICMOS, SIRIUS, 2MASS, Spitzer/IRAC, and Chandra X-ray observations. We correct for extinctions toward individual stars, improve the Pa-a line equivalent width measurements, quantify the substantial mid-IR dust emission associated with WC stars, and find X-ray counterparts. In the process, we identify 10 foreground sources, some of which may be nearby cataclysmic variables. The WN stars in the Arches and Central clusters show correlations between the Pa-a equivalent width and the adjacent continuum emission. However, the WN stars in the latter cluster are systematically dimmer than those in the Arches cluster, presumably due to the different ages of the two clusters. In the EW-magnitude plot, WNL stars, WC stars and OB supergiants roughly fall into three distinct regions. We estimate that the dust mass associated with individual WC stars in the Quintuplet cluster can reach 1e-5 M, or more than one order of magnitude larger than previous estimates. Thus WC stars could be a significant source of dust in the galaxies of the early universe. Nearly half of the evolved massive stars in the GC are located outside the three known massive stellar clusters. The ionization of several compact HII regions can be accounted for by their enclosed individual evolved massive stars, which thus likely formed in isolation or in small groups.
We report on a deep, multiwavelength study of the galaxy cluster MACS J1931.8-2634 using Chandra X-ray, Subaru optical, and VLA 1.4 GHz radio data. This cluster (z=0.352) harbors one of the most X-ray luminous cool cores yet discovered, with an equiv
alent mass cooling rate within the central 50 kpc is approximately 700 solar masses/yr. Unique features observed in the central core of MACSJ1931.8-2634 hint to a wealth of past activity that has greatly disrupted the original cool core. We observe a spiral of relatively cool, dense, X-ray emitting gas connected to the cool core, as well as highly elongated intracluster light (ICL) surrounding the cD galaxy. Extended radio emission is observed surrounding the central AGN, elongated in the east-west direction, spatially coincident with X-ray cavities. The power input required to inflate these `bubbles is estimated from both the X-ray and radio emission to reside between 4 and 14e45 erg/s, putting it among the most powerful jets ever observed. This combination of a powerful AGN outburst and bulk motion of the cool core have resulted in two X-ray bright ridges to form to the north and south of the central AGN at a distance of approximately 25 kpc. The northern ridge has spectral characteristics typical of cool cores and is consistent with being a remnant of the cool core after it was disrupted by the AGN and bulk motions. It is also the site of H-alpha filaments and young stars. The X-ray spectroscopic cooling rate associated with this ridge is approximately 165 solar masses/yr, which agrees with the estimate of the star formation rate from broad-band optical imaging (170 solar masses/yr). MACS J1931.8-2634 appears to harbor one of most profoundly disrupted low entropy cores observed in a cluster, and offers new insights into the survivability of cool cores in the context of hierarchical structure formation.
We present the results obtained from a total of 123 ks X-ray (Chandra) and 8 hrs of 1.4 GHz radio (Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope - GMRT) observations of the cool core cluster ZwCl 2701 (z = 0.214). These observations of ZwCl 2701 showed the presenc
e of an extensive pair of ellipsoidal cavities along the East and West directions within the central region < 20 kpc. Detection of bright rims around the cavities suggested that the radio lobes displaced X-ray emitting hot gas forming shell-like structures. The total cavity power (mechanical power) that directly heated the surrounding gas and cooling luminosity of the cluster were estimated to be ~2.27 x 10^{45} ergs and 3.5 x 10^{44} ergs, respectively. Comparable values of cavity power and cooling luminosity of ZwCL 2701 suggested that the mechanical power of the AGN outburst is large enough to balance the radiative cooling in the system. The star formation rate derived from the H_alpha luminosity was found to be ~0.60 M_sun yr^{-1} which is about three orders of magnitude lower than the cooling rate of ~196 M_sun yr^{-1}. Detection of the floor in entropy profile of ZwCl 2701 suggested the presence of an alternative heating mechanism at the centre of the cluster. Lower value of the ratio (~10^{-2}) between black hole mass accretion rate and Eddington mass accretion rate suggested that launching of jet from the super massive black hole is efficient in ZwCl 2701. However, higher value of ratio (~10^{3}) between black hole mass accretion rate and Bondi accretion rate indicated that the accretion rate required to create cavities is well above the Bondi accretion rate.
