Limiting Magnetic Fields in the Cosmic Web with Diffuse Radio Emission
arXiv:1703.07829 · doi:10.1093/mnras/stx746
Abstract
We set limits on the presence of the synchrotron cosmic web through the cross-correlation of the 2.3 GHz S-PASS survey with a model of the local cosmic web derived from constrained magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. The MHD simulation assumes cosmologically seeded magnetic fields amplified during large-scale structure formation, and a population of relativistic electrons/positrons from proton-proton collisions within the intergalactic medium. We set a model-dependent 3 upper limit on the synchrotron surface brightness of 0.16 mJy arcmin at 2.3 GHz in filaments. Extrapolating from magnetic field maps created from the simulation, we infer an upper limit (density-weighted) magnetic field of 0.03 (0.13) G in filaments at the current epoch, and a limit on the primordial magnetic field (PMF) of B~1.0 nG.
