Scientific paper

Galaxy clusters with high-density, low-entropy gas in their cores can harbor central galaxies that have unusually strong central radio sources, extensive emission-line nebulae, and other signs of ongoing star formation. Clusters with more diffuse cores do not exhibit similar phenomena. One possible reason for this dichotomy in behavior may be that thermal conduction prohibits the formation of a multiphase medium in clusters without dense, low-entropy cores. If conduction is indeed governing the transition from a single-phase to a multi-phase intracluster medium, then it may also play a critical role in regulating the feedback cycle that inhibits gas from cooling in cluster cores.
