Don Horner's Ph.D. Thesis
This page contains information about my Ph.D. thesis, X-ray
Scaling Laws for Galaxy Clusters and Groups.
What's available so far:
- Download a postscript copy or a PDF (converted from the postscript copy).
- An ASCII catalog of the main ASCA
catalog is available. This catalog has the temperature, metal
abundances, and luminosities. See Appendix A in the thesis for
a complete explanation of the columns in the table. Note that
the fluxes and luminosites in this table have been corrected for
the error mention in the Errata section below.
- A
preliminary web page which shows the catalog as well as images
of the clusters (and images of the spectra). Note that this page
hasn't been updated in a while.
What's happening now:
- An updated version of the catalog is in preparation. This
catalog will have about 20 more clusters from observations that
were not public at the time I wrote the thesis.
- Science papers are in preparation.

The ASCA luminosities and fluxes used throughout the thesis
(i.e. those given in Table A.2) are the absorbed values
(i.e. not corrected for galactic column density). For most
clusters this is not a large effect and should not substantial
affect the conclusions.
