"Cold Front Discovered in Massive Galaxy Cluster"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers from India and South Africa have detected sloshing cold fronts in the intracluster medium of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 2566 using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory. The findings, published on arXiv, reveal unusual spiral-shaped gas sloshing and cold fronts, likely caused by a minor merger and displacement of the cluster's gravitational potential well.
