We present a new Chandra observation of the galaxy cluster Abell 2146 which has revealed a complex merging system with a gas structure that is remarkably similar to the Bullet cluster. The X-ray image and temperature map show a cool 2 –3 keV subclust... Read More about Chandra observation of two shock fronts in the merging galaxy cluster Abell 2146.
