[1102.5363v2] The Effect of Helium Sedimentation on …
Recent theoretical studies predict that the inner regions of galaxy clusters may have an enhanced helium abundance due to sedimentation over the cluster lifetime. If sedimentation is not suppressed (e.g., by tangled magnetic fields), this may significantly affect the cluster mass estimates. We use Chandra X-ray observations of eight relaxed …

Recent observations with the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) show strong unexpected ultraviolet (UV) excess in the spectrum of brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs). It is believed that the excess UV signal is produced by old and evolved core-He burning stars, and the UV flux strength could be greatly enhanced if the progenitor stars have a high value of …

Plasma Instabilities in the Context of Current Helium Sedimentation
Understanding whether Helium can sediment to the core of galaxy clusters is important for a number of problems in cosmology and astrophysics. All current models addressing this question are one-dimensional and do not account for the fact that magnetic fields can effectively channel ions and electrons, leading to anisotropic transport of momentum, …

Significantly stronger effects in the gas mass (10.5 ± 0.8%) and total mass (25.1 ± 1.1%) are seen at small radii owing to a larger variance in helium abundance in the inner region, r ≤ 0.1 r 500. Conclusions. We find that the slope of the YX - M 500 scaling relation is not significantly affected by helium sedimentation.

Recent theoretical studies predict that the inner regions of galaxy clusters are enriched by the sedimentation of Helium (He) ions into the cluster core. However, since He produces no lines at X-ray emitting temperatures, cluster masses are generally derived under the assumption that the He abundance is fixed at the Solar abundance value.
