Zooming-in on cluster radio relics -- I. How density fluctuations explain the Mach number discrepancy, microgauss magnetic fields, and spectral index variations
Joseph Whittingham, Christoph Pfrommer, Maria Werhahn +2
It is generally accepted that radio relics are the result of synchrotron emission from shock-accelerated electrons. Current models, however, are still unable to explain several asp…
The impact of cosmic ray heating on the cooling of the low-metallicity interstellar medium
Vittoria Brugaletta, Stefanie Walch, Thorsten Naab +6
Low-metallicity environments are subject to inefficient cooling. They also have low dust-to-gas ratios and therefore less efficient photoelectric (PE) heating than in solar-neighbo…
IllustrisTNG + Cosmic Rays with a Simple Transport Model: From Dwarfs to L Galaxies
Rahul Ramesh, Dylan Nelson, Philipp Girichidis
We use a simple model for cosmic ray (CR) production and transport to assess the impact of CRs on \,\, galaxy, circumgalactic medium (CGM), and halo properties. To do so,…
On the relation between magnetic field strength and gas density in the interstellar medium: A multiscale analysis
D. J. Whitworth, S. Srinivasan, R. E. Pudritz +19
The magnetic field strength to gas density relation in the interstellar medium is of fundamental importance. We present and compare Bayesian analyses of the B-n relation for two co…
Testing kinematic distances under a realistic Galactic potential
Glen H. Hunter, Mattia C. Sormani, Jan P. Beckmann +15
Obtaining reliable distance estimates to gas clouds within the Milky Way is challenging in the absence of certain tracers. The kinematic distance approach has been used as an alter…
Magnetic field morphology and evolution in the Central Molecular Zone and its effect on gas dynamics
R. G. Tress, M. C. Sormani, P. Girichidis +34
The interstellar medium in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is known to be strongly magnetised, but its large-scale morphology and impact on the gas dynamics are not we…
Cloud properties across spatial scales in simulations of the interstellar medium
Tine Colman, Noé Brucy, Philipp Girichidis +9
Molecular clouds (MC) are structures of dense gas in the interstellar medium (ISM), that extend from ten to a few hundred parsecs and form the main gas reservoir available for star…
Multiple power-law tails in the density and column-density distribution in contracting star-forming clumps
Todor V. Veltchev, Philipp Girichidis, Lyubov Marinkova +3
We present a numerical study of the evolution of power-law tails (PLTs) in the (column-)density distributions (-PDF, -PDF) in contracting star-forming clumps in primordial ga…
