Scientific paper

We present results from a survey of 33 cool core clusters and groups covering nearly three orders of magnitude in mass aimed at explaining the presence and morphology of warm, ionized gas in the cool cores of galaxy clusters. Using the Maryland-Magellan tunable filter we have taken a census of these mysterious Halpha filaments with unprecedented depth and resolution. These data have been supplemented with new and archival X-Ray, UV, near-far IR, mm, and radio imaging and spectroscopy. Armed with the most detailed picture of the warm gas in cool cores to date, we investigate several possible mechanisms for both producing the observed morphologies and ionizing the cool gas. Our results offer exciting new constraints, both quantitative and qualitative, for the latest models of clusters.
