Description

In recent years, the outskirts of galaxy clusters have emerged as one of the new frontiers for studying the physics of clusters and intergalactic medium. In this talk, I will discuss the physics of galaxy clusters outskirts, focusing on roles of cosmic gas accretion and non-equilibrium phenoma (such as gas inhomogeneities, turbulence, and electron-proton equilibration process operating in the cluster outskirts). I will discuss implications for interpreting deep Chandra X-ray observations of A133.
