Cosmological Shocks in Adaptive Mesh Refinement Simulations and the Acceleration of Cosmic Rays
Samuel W. Skillman, Brian W. O'Shea, Eric J. Hallman +2
We present new results characterizing cosmological shocks within adaptive mesh refinement N-Body/hydrodynamic simulations that are used to predict non-thermal components of large-s…
Why Do Only Some Galaxy Clusters Have Cool Cores?
Jack O. Burns, Eric J. Hallman, Brennan Gantner +2
Flux-limited X-ray samples indicate that about half of rich galaxy clusters have cool cores. Why do only some clusters have cool cores while others do not? In this paper, cosmologi…
Cluster Structure in Cosmological Simulations I: Correlation to Observables, Mass Estimates, and Evolution
Tesla E. Jeltema, Eric J. Hallman, Jack O. Burns +1
We use Enzo, a hybrid Eulerian AMR/N-body code including non-gravitational heating and cooling, to explore the morphology of the X-ray gas in clusters of galaxies and its evolution…
The Santa Fe Light Cone Simulation Project: I. Confusion and the WHIM in Upcoming Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect Surveys
Eric J. Hallman, Brian W. O'Shea, Jack O. Burns +3
We present the first results from a new generation of simulated large sky coverage (~100 square degrees) Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) cluster surveys using the cosmological adapt…
AMR Simulations of the Cosmological Light Cone: SZE Surveys of the Synthetic Universe
Eric J. Hallman, Brian W. O'Shea, Michael L. Norman +2
We present preliminary results from simulated large sky coverage (~100 square degrees) Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect (SZE) cluster surveys using the cosmological adaptive mesh refinemen…
Beyond the Cool Core: The Formation of Cool Core Galaxy Clusters
Jack O. Burns, Eric J. Hallman, Brennan Gantner +2
Why do some clusters have cool cores while others do not? In this paper, cosmological simulations, including radiative cooling and heating, are used to examine the formation and ev…
