If properly calibrated, the shapes of galaxy clusters can be used to investigate many physical processes: from feedback and quenching of star formation, to the nature of dark matter. Theorists frequently measure shapes using moments of inertia of sim... Read More about Reconciling galaxy cluster shapes, measured by theorists vs observers.
