	Chandra :: Photo Album :: Fornax Cluster :: 08 Sep 04
		A Chandra mosaic of images of the Fornax galaxy cluster reveals that the vast cloud of ten-million-degree Celsius gas surrounding the cluster core has a swept-back cometary shape that extends for more than half a million light years.
		Optical studies of Fornax have identified a large group of galaxies on the outskirts of the cluster that appear to be on a collision course with the cluster core.
		The motions of this group and the cluster core indicate that they lie along a large, unseen, filamentary structure composed mostly of dark matter that is collapsing and flowing toward a common center of gravity (see the accompanying illustration).

		As a result, astronomers surmise that the Fornax cluster core is moving toward the lower right, encountering an intergalactic headwind as it sweeps through a larger, less dense cloud of material.

	Fornax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fornax (IPA: /ˈfɔːnaks/, Latin: furnace) is a southern constellation which was first introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille under the name Fornax Chemica (Latin for chemical furnace).
		The Fornax Cluster, a small cluster of galaxies lies primarily in the constellation Fornax.
		Fornax, in Roman mythology, was the goddess of bread and baking, although this has nothing to do with the constellation (fornax is just the Roman word for furnace), as the constellation was created in 1763.

	The Fornax and Eridanus Clusters
		The Fornax and Eridanus clusters are two very famous clusters in the southern hemisphere.
		The nearer Fornax cluster is about 65 million light years from us, and the Eridanus cluster is about 85 million light years from us.
		This cluster is less spectacular than the Fornax cluster, partly because the galaxies are spread across a larger area and partly because the cluster is rather further and hence dimmer than the Fornax cluster.

	Fornax A (NGC 1316)
		An unusual giant elliptical galaxy in the constellation Fornax that appears to have merged, or be in the process of merging, with a spiral galaxy (see galaxy merger).
		Evidence for this includes a dark central lane of dust, arcs and plumes of stars in the outer parts of the galaxy, and an enormous outpouring of radio waves, powered ultimately by material falling onto a central supermassive fl hole.
		The designation Fornax A means that this is the brightest radio source in its constellation; in fact, it is one of the strongest and largest radio sources in the sky, with radio lobes extending over several degrees.

	Hubble Heritage
		Fornax appears to be a quiet place, even a bit dull, being dominated by old galaxies, ellipticals and S0's mostly.
		This appearance is deceiving, however; X-ray images reveal a more turbulent picture of a cluster in the late stages of a recent merger of a sizable subgroup with the main cluster.
		In retrospect, Fornax contains a prominent visual clue that the cluster is not entirely serene: NGC1427A, the only gas-rich irregular galaxy in the cluster, has an unusual "swoosh'' morphology with prominent blue knots of ongoing star formation.

	Fornax Dwarf
		Fornax dwarf was discovered in 1938 by Harlow Shapley shortly after the Sculptor dwarf.
		This is typical for dwarf elliptical or dwarf spheroidal galaxies, of which the Fornax Dwarf is a representative.
		Four of the other Fornax Dwarf globulars are of magnitudes 13.7, 13.9, 14.1, and 16.6, according to Burnham (who didn't know of the sixth Fornax globular).

		A Cepheid Distance to NGC 1365 in the Fornax Cluster and Implications for the Hubble Constant
		Associating this distance with the Fornax cluster as a whole, and adopting a mean recessional velocity of 1,380 \pm88 km/sec (corrected for Virgocentric flow) gives a local Hubble constant of H_o = 75 km/sec/Mpc.
		The random error is 6%; while the largest systematic uncertainty is currently the unknown motion of the Fornax cluster with respect to the cosmic microwave background.

		We compare the Astro-1 Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) deep image of the Fornax cluster with deep optical surveys for purposes of determining the efficacy of vaccuum ultraviolet imaging in terms of the recovery of very faint and/or diffuse galaxies.
		IF these optically faint galaxies are members of the Fornax cluster, then the VUV imaging did sample an appreciable range in the galaxy luminosity function.
		For the dwarf ellipticals, a comparison of their optical and UV fluxes indicates the UV light is not dominated by any hot population but rather represents the general UV characteristics of the underlying stellar population.
