Morphology and Mach Number Distribution of Merger Shock Surfaces in Merging Galaxy Clusters

In a binary merger of two subclusters with comparable masses, a pair of merger shocks are typically generated, often manifesting as double radio relics. Using cosmological hydrodynamic simulations, we identify major merger events with mass ratio $1\lt {{ \mathcal M }}_{1}/{{ \mathcal M }}_{2}\lesssi...
