Tracing the Peculiar Dark Matter Structure in the Galaxy Cluster CL 0024+17 with Intracluster Stars and Gas
ICL is believed to originate from the stars stripped from cluster galaxies.
They are no longer gravitationally bound to individual galaxies, but to the
cluster, and their smooth distribution potentially makes them serve as much
denser tracers of the cluster dark matter than the sparsely distributed cluster
galaxies. We present our study of the ICL in Cl 0024+17 using both ACS and
Subaru data, where we previously reported discovery of a ringlike dark matter
structure with gravitational lensing. The ACS images provide much lower sky
levels than ground data, and enable us to measure relative variation of surface
brightness reliably. This analysis is repeated with the Subaru images to
examine if consistent features are recovered despite different reduction scheme
and instrumental characteristics. We find that the ICL profile clearly
resembles the peculiar mass profile, which stops decreasing at r~50" (~265 kpc)
and slowly increases until it turns over at r~75" (~397 kpc). This feature is
seen in both ACS and Subaru images for nearly all available passband images
while the features are stronger in red filters. The consistency across
different filters and instruments strongly rules out the possibility that the
feature might come from any residual, uncorrected calibration errors. In
addition, our re-analysis of the cluster X-ray data shows that the peculiar
mass structure is also indicated by a non-negligible bump in the intracluster
gas profile when the geometric center of the dark matter ring, not the peak of
the X-ray emission, is chosen as the center of the radial bin. The location of
the gas ring is closer to the center by ~15" (~80 kpc), raising an interesting
possibility that the ring-like structure is expanding and the gas ring is
lagging behind perhaps because of the ram pressure if both features in mass and
gas share the same dynamical origin.Comment: Accepted to ApJ for publicatio

The magnetic field and geometry of the oblique shock in the jet of 3C 346
We investigate the brightest regions of the kpc-scale jet in the powerful
radio galaxy 3C 346, using new optical HST ACS/F606W polarimetry together with
Chandra X-ray data and 14.9 GHz and 22.5 GHz VLA radio polarimetry. The jet
shows a close correspondence in optical and radio morphology, while the X-ray
emission shows an 0.80 +/- 0.17 kpc offset from the optical and radio peak
positions. Optical and radio polarimetry show the same apparent magnetic field
position angle and fractional polarization at the brightest knot, where the jet
undergoes a large kink of almost 70 degrees in the optical and radio images.
The apparent field direction here is well-aligned with the new jet direction,
as predicted by earlier work that suggested the kink was the result of an
oblique shock. We have explored models of the polarization from oblique shocks
to understand the geometry of the 3C 346 jet, and find that the upstream flow
is likely to be highly relativistic (0.91 +0.05 / -0.07 c), where the plane of
the shock front is inclined at an angle of 51 (+/- 11) degrees to the upstream
flow which is at an angle 14 (+8 / -7) degrees to our line of sight. The actual
deflection angle of the jet in this case is only 22 degrees.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures. Accepted by MNRA
Ancient stars beyond the Local Group: RR Lyrae variables and Blue Horizontal Branch stars in Sculptor Group Dwarf Galaxies
We have used Hubble Space Telescope ACS images to generate color-magnitude
diagrams that reach below the magnitude of the horizontal branch in the
Sculptor Group dwarf galaxies ESO294-010 and ESO410-005. In both diagrams blue
horizontal branch stars are unambiguously present, a signature of the existence
of an ancient stellar population whose age is comparable to that of the
Galactic halo globular clusters. The result is reinforced by the discovery of
numerous RR Lyrae variables in both galaxies. The occurrence of these stars in
the first direct confirmation of the existence of ancient stellar populations
beyond the Local Group and indicates that star formation can occur at the
earliest epochs even in low density environments.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in Astrophysical
