Hydrodynamic Simulations of a Relativistic Jet Interacting with the Intracluster Medium: Application to Cygnus A
John A. ZuHone, Paul E. J. Nulsen, Po-Hsun Tseng +2
The Fanaroff-Riley class II radio galaxy Cygnus A hosts jets which produce radio emission, X-ray cavities, cocoon shocks, and X-ray hotspots where the jet interacts with the ICM. S…
Intracluster magnetic filaments and an encounter with a radio jet
Lawrence Rudnick, Marcus Bruggen, Gianfranco Brunetti +6
Thin synchrotron-emitting filaments are increasingly seen in the intracluster medium (ICM). We present the first example of a direct interaction between a magnetic filament, a radi…
Plasma physics of the intracluster medium
Matthew W. Kunz, Thomas W. Jones, Irina Zhuravleva
This Chapter provides a brief tutorial on some aspects of plasma physics that are fundamental to understanding the dynamics and energetics of the intracluster medium (ICM). The tut…
Exploring the relation between turbulent velocity and density fluctuations in the stratified intracluster medium
Marco Simonte, Franco Vazza, Fabrizio Brighenti +2
The dynamics of the intracluster medium (ICM) is affected by turbulence driven by several processes, such as mergers, accretion and feedback from active galactic nuclei. X-ray surf…
Properties of clumps and filaments around galaxy clusters
M. Angelinelli, S. Ettori, F. Vazza +1
We report on the possibility of studying the proprieties of cosmic diffuse baryons by studying self-gravitating clumps and filaments connected to galaxy clusters. While filaments a…
Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of A2256: cold fronts, merger shocks, and constraint on the IC emission
Chong Ge, Ruo-Yu Liu, Ming Sun +13
We present the results of deep Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of a complex merging galaxy cluster Abell 2256 (A2256) that hosts a spectacular radio relic (RR). The temperature…
