The MillenniumTNG Project: The hydrodynamical full physics simulation and a first look at its galaxy clusters

Ruediger Pakmor, Volker Springel, Jonathan P. Coles +12

Cosmological simulations are an important theoretical pillar for understanding nonlinear structure formation in our Universe and for relating it to observations on large scales. In…

Probing the origin of extragalactic magnetic fields with Fast Radio Bursts

F. Vazza, M. Brüggen, P. M. Hinz +3

The joint analysis of the Dispersion and Faraday Rotation Measure from distant, polarised Fast Radio Bursts may be used to put constraints on the origin and distribution of extraga…

Observations of a nearby filament of galaxy clusters with the Sardinia Radio Telescope

V. Vacca, M. Murgia, F. Govoni +29

We report the detection of diffuse radio emission which might be connected to a large-scale filament of the cosmic web covering a 8deg x 8deg area in the sky, likely associated wit…

Turbulence and Vorticity in Galaxy Clusters Generated by Structure Formation

F. Vazza, T. W. Jones, M. Brüggen +4

Turbulence is a key ingredient for the evolution of the intracluster medium, whose properties can be predicted with high resolution numerical simulations. We present initial result…

Detecting the cosmic web with radio surveys

F. Vazza, M. Brueggen, C. Gheller +2

We study the challenges to detect the cosmic web at radio wavelengths with state-of-the-art cosmological simulations of extragalactic magnetic fields. The incoming generation of ra…

Properties of Cosmological Filaments extracted from Eulerian Simulations

Claudio Gheller, Franco Vazza, Jean Favre +1

Using a new parallel algorithm implemented within the VisIt framework, we analysed large cosmological grid simulations to study the properties of baryons in filaments. The procedur…

Forecasts for the detection of the magnetised cosmic web from cosmological simulations

F. Vazza, C. Ferrari, M. Brüggen +3

The cosmic web contains a large fraction of the total gas mass in the universe but is difficult to detect at most wavelengths. Synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons…

Filaments of the radio cosmic web: opportunities and challenges for SKA

Franco Vazza, Chiara Ferrari, Annalisa Bonafede +4

The detection of the diffuse gas component of the cosmic web remains a formidable challenge. In this work we study synchrotron emission from the cosmic web with simulated SKA1 obse…

Simulations of cosmic rays in large-scale structures: numerical and physical effects

Franco Vazza, Claudio Gheller, Marcus Brüggen

Non-thermal (relativistic) particles are injected into the cosmos by structure formation shock waves, active galactic nuclei and stellar explosions. We present a suite of unigrid c…

Thermal and non-thermal traces of AGN feedback: results from cosmological AMR simulations

F. Vazza, M. Brueggen, C. Gheller

We investigate the observable effects of feedback from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) on non-thermal components of the intracluster medium (ICM). We have modelled feedback from AGN i…

Modelling injection and feedback of Cosmic Rays in grid-based cosmological simulations: effects on cluster outskirts

F. Vazza, M. Bruggen, C. Gheller +1

We present a numerical scheme, implemented in the cosmological adaptive mesh refinement code ENZO, to model the injection of Cosmic Ray (CR) particles at shocks, their advection an…
