OPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY OF Hα FILAMENTS IN COOL CORE CLUSTERS: KINEMATICS, REDDENING, AND SOURCES OF IONIZATION

We have obtained deep, high spatial and spectral resolution, long-slit spectra of the Hα nebulae in the cool cores of nine galaxy clusters. This sample provides a wealth of information on the ionization state, kinematics, and reddening of the warm gas in the cool cores of galaxy clusters. We find ev...
