The authors speculate that this may be a selection effect: DLRGs further
from cluster centers may be less bright, preventing their detection.
In addition, near the
galaxy cluster center, intergalactic gas is so hot it can not cool to condense and form stars.
Just below and to the left of
the cluster center is a vividly blue star (see the super-duper high - res embiggened version to get a better look).
This gas collided with other gas and formed a second, more chemically enriched generation of stars that was concentrated toward
the cluster center.
But with SIM we should be able to see all the individual stars that make up
the cluster center.»
As the pulsars orbit
the cluster center, gravitational acceleration minutely alters the observed pulse frequency.
However, more recent work has challenged these conclusions, in particular disputing the proposed location of
the cluster center.
The density of stars rises all the way into
the cluster center, marked by a green cross.
The cluster center is in the upper right, on the highest - resolution part of the image.
We performed a deep (I = 23, z = 22.5) photometric survey over 16 deg $ ^ 2 $ around
the cluster center.
In either case, a black hole can be identified by using a common Hubble black - hole - hunting technique, which searches for a rise in velocities toward
the cluster center.
Silverstein and collaborators found that the density of DLRGs as a function of distance from
a cluster center drops off more rapidly than the density of galaxies in a typical cluster.
These values are in agreement with those found in other galaxy clusters and suggest that dust is deficient near
the cluster center by more than 3 orders of magnitude compared to the interstellar medium.
An offset pointing to a substructure elongated to south - east of
the cluster center gave a significantly lower temperature of $ \ sim 5 $ keV.
Our observations yield the 2 sigma upper limits on the excess emission within 100 kpc of
the cluster center as 5 x 10 ^ -3 MJy / sr, 6 x 10 ^ -2 MJy / sr, and 7 x 10 ^ -2 MJy / sr, at 24, 70, and 160 microns, respectively.
