Cooling flows in galaxy clusters
Cooling time < Hubble time at the center of clusters Gas Flow, 100 to 1000 Mo/yr
Problem: cold gas or stars formed are not detected?
Today, the amplitude of the flow has been reduced by 10 and the cold gas is detectedEdge (2001) Salomé & Combes (2003) 23 detected galaxies in CO
Results from Chandra & XMM: cooling flow self-regulated
Re-heating process, feedback due to the active nucleus or blackHole: schocks, jets, acoustic waves, bubbles...

Fabian et al 2003NGC 1275=Abell 426
Mechanical energy muchlarger than Lbol(Binney & Tabor 1995,Churazov et al 2002)

Detection of CO with
IRAM-30m
CO surveySelected on dM/dtand H
6-10 detectionsamong 32 galaxies
Masses between3 108 - 4 1010Mo
Mgas versus z, Stars * are detections, Squares hints of detectionsDash line: 3 sensitivity limit of IRAM 30m in 2h

Correlation with Halpha
Both Edge (2001) and Salome & Combes (2003) dataSame excitation mechanisms, H shocked gas from cooling flowsor ionised by young stars formed

Comparison between MH2 and dM/dt
dM/dt from Einstein (White et al 1997). Lines are 1%, 10%, and 100% dM/dt x 1 GyrIn blue, dM/dt (<r) ~r ~1 taken into account

MH2 versus Mdust to be done with APEX
Mdust from IRAS (assumed 35K). Straight lines representgas-to-dust ratio of 200, 500 and 1500.Sputtering destroys dust in cluster hot gasHigher gas-to-dust ratio expected

Abell 1795 cooling flow
Cooling time 300 Myr (Fabian et al 01)
200 Mo/yr in R < 200kpc (Ettori et al 02)
No gas below 2kev (Tamura et al 01, XMM)
60kpc H filament (Cowie et al 85)at V(cluster)Cooling wakeThe cD has V=374km/s w/o cluster

CO(2-1) integrated map
Close correspondance between the CO(2-1) emission andthe H +[NII] line emission (gray scale)6cm contours van Breugel et al 1984Cold gas may have deflected the expanding radio lobes?The jet creates a hole (bubble) in the hot gas, which is compressedat the boundaries, and cools

Could trace the coolingwake, since the centralGalaxy is not at rest

Conclusions
Now about 23 detections, MH2 up to 1010Mo, typically 20kpccentral regions Abell 1795: CO clearly associated to the cooling wake, and not in rotation in the central galaxy Perseus: CO associated to the cooling filaments (not the merger)
The CO(2-1) closely associated to the HConfirms the global CO-H correlation
H2 masses found corresponds to what is expected from the cooling rate Cold dust to be detected, and gas-to-dust ratio checked
The AGN creates cavities in the hot gas. Cooling more efficient alongthe edges of cavities, where the CO and H are observed
