Composite image (optical, x-ray, computed dark-matter) of mass distribution in the bullet cluster of galaxies.

Summary[edit]

Description1e0657 scale.jpg	English: Composite image showing the galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56, better known as bullet cluster. The image in background showing the visible spectrum of light stems from Magellan and Hubble Space Telescope images. The pink overlay shows the x-ray emission (recorded by Chandra Telescope) of the colliding clusters, the blue one represents the mass distribution of the clusters calculated from gravitational lens effects. Scale: Full image is 7.5 arcmin wide, 5.4 arcmin high Deutsch: Montage aus verschiedenen Bildern des Galaxieclusters 1E 0657-56, besser bekannt als Bullet-Cluster. Das Hintergrundbild zeigt eine Aufnahme des sichtbaren Spektrums, das vom Magellan-Teleskop und dem Hubble-Weltraumteleskop aufgenommen wurde. Darüber liegt in pink die vom Chandra-Teleskop aufgenommene Röntgenstrahlung, die vom Cluster ausgeht und in blau die Massenverteilung im Cluster, die aus Gravitationslinseneffekten berechnet wurde. Français : Image composite montrant l'amas de galaxies 1E 0657-56, aussi connu sous le nom d'amas du Boulet. Cette image montre en arrière-plan des images de galaxies qui proviennent des télescopes Hubble et Magellan. Le revêtement en rose montre les émissions de rayons-x (enregistrées par le télescope Chandra) de la collision des deux amas, alors que les émissions en bleu représentent la distribution de la masse de ces amas, calculée à partir de l'effet de lentille gravitationnelle.

Image title	This composite image shows the galaxy cluster 1E 0657-56, also known as the "bullet cluster", formed after the collision of two large clusters of galaxies. Hot gas detected by Chandra is seen as two pink clumps in the image and contains most of the "normal" matter in the two clusters. An optical image from Magellan and the Hubble Space Telescope shows galaxies in orange and white. The blue clumps show where most of the mass in the clusters is found, using a technique known as gravitational lensing. Most of the matter in the clusters (blue) is clearly separate from the normal matter (pink), giving direct evidence that nearly all of the matter in the clusters is dark. This result cannot be explained by modifying the laws of gravity.
