Description
Investigating cluster properties is crucial to validate our understanding of the main physical processes driving the formation and evolution of cosmic structures. Cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, able to successfully reproduce many of the observed properties of galaxy clusters, allow us to study their intrinsic structure and evolution, and interpret the great amount of data expected from up-coming observational missions (e.g. Athena, eRosita, etc.). I will present results on the thermo-dynamical and chemical properties of a sample of galaxy clusters from simulations with AGN feedback.
