Simulating Metal Distributions in the ICM
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 May 2016
Abstract
The metal enrichment of the intra-cluster medium within a hierarchical structure formation scenario is investigated using a combination of N-body + Hydro simulations and semi-analytic models of galaxy formation. In our simulation, rates and sites of star formation are identified and gas particles in the environment of these ‘galaxies’ are then enriched with metals using various prescriptions. We investigate the paths of enriched particles, demonstrating how gas enriched at higher redshifts is distributed in a cluster after it has formed. We are then able to predict a number of observable quantities such as the radial profiles of metals from both SNII and SNIa and the evolution of metal content with redshift.
