In the centres of many galaxy clusters, the hot (approximately 107 kelvin) intracluster medium can become dense enough that it should cool on short timescales. However, the low measured star formation rates in massive central galaxies and the absence... Read More about Directly Imaging the Cooling Flow in the Phoenix Cluster.
