-Merger shock: two sub-clumps merging!
(Ryu, D. et al., ApJ 2003) Cosmological Shock
-Cosmological shocks result from the hierarchical formation of large scale structure of the universe. They can be classified into External shock and Internal shock.

Major merger? - Major merger indicates merger with two clusters with comparable masses. - Major merger is the most energetic event in the universe. - Numerous shocks are generated through merger and they dissipate ergs on time-scales of 1 to 2Gyr. >> good X-ray emitting sources.

Merger shocks could be detected radio shocks.
- Radio observation is related to acceleration of cosmic rays (nonthermal process). -Merger shocks with Mradio~3 could be detected in radio observations.

The galaxy cluster around 3C 438
-Shock front: defined as both temperature and gas density are increased. -Cold front: defined as the discontinuity that temperature is decreased and gas density is increased.

(Ha, J., Ryu, D., & Kang, H. 2017, in preparation)
-Before merger, hot gases in converge to center of cluster.
-Shocked gases are squeezed and they are flowing outside.
- Hot gas and clump core are separated and cold front can be formed.

Formation of cold front – simulated cluster (Ha, J., Ryu, D., & Kang, H. 2017, in preparation)
- At merger (z = 0.36), hot gases are compressed at merging cluster center. - Densest subclump core pushes shocked gas in interaction region and hot gas is flowing with low velocity around the merging region without penetrating the massive subcluster core boundary and cold gas converges to the center of the merging cluster. 19/25

Dark Matter & cold front (Ha, J., Ryu, D., & Kang, H. 2017, in preparation)
- Dark matter distribution makes gravitational potential and cold gases are trapped at the center of merging cluster. Hence, the densest clump core and gas in interaction region are separated and a cold front can be formed.

Summary - Merger shock can be classified into two types. Equator shock is stronger than axis shock but is less energetic than axis shock.
- Axis shock in massive clump is weaker than other types of merger shock but is the most energetic. Hence, energetic shock in massive clump can be observed in X-ray (MX-ray~2.5) and radio (Mradio~3) observations at the outskirts of galaxy clusters (ds~1-2 Mpc~0.5Rvir – 1Rvir) and z<0.3.
- A cold front is formed by steep gradients of temperature & gas density.
KNAG meeting – Feb 17, 2017
- Dark matter distribution in merging galaxy cluster is related to cold front formation.
