Estimate* the Total Mechanical Feedback Energyin Massive Clusters Bill Mathews & Fulai Guo University of California, Santa Cruz *~ ±15-20% version 2
estimate feedback energy from potential energy of gas after each feedback heating event cluster gas expands and feedback energy becomes PE compare PE of gas between: (1) observed gas profiles in clusters (2) idealized gas profiles in adiabatic clusters evolved to zero redshift without: radiative cooling non-gravitational feedback energy star formation compare PE of (1) and (2) at same Mgas ( r) this determines feedback energy< r independent of the time when feedback occurred
why this works: (1) NFW dark halo and adiabatic gas grow from inside out constant-mass radii during halo formation cluster potential ( r) remains constant within rv(t) Diemand+07 (2) PE is integrated from inside out cluster gas density totalclusterpotential

compare NFW and adiabatic cluster gas profiles entropy dispersion density dm Sdm ~ r1.2 dm dm gas Sg ~ r1.2 gas gas dmfb/(1-fb) NFW g Faltenbacher+07 using GADGET2 beyond small core, gas density is NFW: g = fbt gas entropy: Sg = gg g = [3kT/mp]1/2 (thermal dispersion) dark matter entropy: Sdm = dmdm dm = 3D velocity dispersion Sg = (0.70 +/- 0.25) Sdm (Faltenbacher+07) Sg ≈ Sdm => gas and dm experience identical gravitational dissipation
adiabatic cluster gas profiles grid-based adiabatic cosmogical simulations mix more and have larger density cores in cluster gas dm adopt two limiting assumptions for adiabatic g( r): universal baryon (1) no core: fraction g( r) = fbt,nfw( r) fb = 0.17 (2) with core: g( r) = c( r)fbt,nfw( r) g NFW Vazza 11 total cluster density
adiabatic cluster atmosphere (without density core) total NFW cluster profile t( r) for observed Mv and c(Mv)
adiabatic cluster atmosphere ignoring density core, adiabatic gas profile is scaled NFW ( r) = fbt( r) = 0.17t( r) ( r) contains all information about dissipative entropy-increasing events in filaments, accretion shock, and mergers
adiabatic cluster atmosphere using ( r) = fbt( r), integrate hydrostatic equation for temperature and entropy S: (a point-slope boundary value problem) entropy Sad( r) ~ r1.2 a uniform slope near rvir is the boundary condition, but its value is not imposed in advance.

observed cluster atmosphere fit to observed gas density profile:
observed cluster atmosphere using obs( r) integrate again for observed gas temperature ( r) and entropy Sobs( r) which resembles observations: Sad( r) Pratt+10
how to recover universal adiabatic Sad( r) ~ r1.2 from Sobs( r) (assume no significant heating by recent feedback) Pratt+10 Sobs( r) is more sensitive to low (from old feedback) than high T (from recent feedback heating)
