Shocks produced by the accretion of infalling gas in the outskirt of galaxy clusters are expected in the hierarchical structure formation scenario, as found in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations. Here, we report the detection of a shock front at a large radius in the pressure profile of the galaxy cluster A2319 at a significance of $8.6\sigma$, using Planck thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich data. The shock is located at $(2.93 \pm 0.05) \times R_{500}$ and is not dominated by any preferential radial direction. Using a parametric model of the pressure profile, we derive a lower limit on the Mach number of the infalling gas, $\mathcal{M} > 3.25$ at 95\% confidence level. These results are consistent with expectations derived from hydrodynamical simulations. Finally, we use the shock location to constrain the accretion rate of A2319 to $\dot{M} \simeq (1.4 \pm 0.4) \times 10^{14}$ M$_\odot$ Gyr$^{-1}$, for a total mass, $M_{200} \simeq 10^{15}$ M$_\odot$.

  1. XRISM Reveals a Kinematically Coherent Core System of the Nearby Cool-Core Cluster Abell 2199

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    XRISM observations show the core of Abell 2199 is kinematically coherent with low turbulence, where turbulent heating may offset ~20% of radiative cooling losses.
