Gas Sloshing and Cold Fronts in Pre-merging Galaxy Cluster A98

We present deep Chandra observations of the pre-merger galaxy cluster Abell 98 (A98). A98 is a complex merging system. While the northern (A98N) and central subclusters (A98S) are merging along the north–south direction, A98S is undergoing a separate late-stage merger, with two distinct X-ray cores....
