Resumen
We present a detailed analysis of nearby galaxy clusters observed with the Chandra X-ray satellite, focusing on the projected density and temperature distributions. Many of these objects have similar morphologies, which exhibit spiral-like substructure, analogous to those found in hydrodynamic simulations of cluster collisions with non-zero orbital angular momentum. These spiral-like structures may be caused by off-axis collisions that will lead to minor mergers. Since these features occur in regions of high density, they may confine radio emission from the central galaxy producing unusual radio morphology.
