Abstract:Here, we report the new detection of three shock fronts using archival Chandra X-ray observations in Abell 1914, which also hosts a radio halo, a radio phoenix, and a head-tail galaxy. In this study, we report the X-ray shock front at the position of the radio phoenix, which further strengthens the scenario that radio phoenix traces old plasma that gets lit up when compressed by shock passage. We further analyze the thermodynamic structure of the cluster in detail. We create temperature maps of A1914 using thr… Show more
