Observations of a pre-merger shock in colliding clusters of galaxies

Clusters of galaxies are the largest known gravitationally bound structures in the Universe. When clusters collide, they create merger shocks on cosmological scales, which transform most of the kinetic energy carried by the cluster gaseous halos into heat1–3. Observations of merger shocks provide ke...
