Preheating the Intracluster Medium in High-Resolution Simulations: The Effect on the Gas Entropy
Abstract
We present first results from high-resolution tree + smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations of galaxy clusters and groups that are aimed at studying the effect of nongravitational heating on the entropy of the intracluster medium (ICM). We simulate three systems having emission-weighted temperatures Tew ≃ 0.6, 1, and 3 keV with spatial resolutions better than 1% of the virial radius. We consider the effect of different prescriptions for …
