Research Explores Galaxy Cluster Dynamics Through Hydrodynamic Simulations

A new preprint investigates how active galactic nucleus feedback and hierarchical assembly influence the intra-cluster medium in cool-core galaxy clusters. The study employs hydrodynamic simulations from the PICO-Cluster project to model these complex astrophysical processes. This preliminary research aims to enhance understanding of observed gas profiles in these environments. The work has not yet undergone peer review.
