The in situ formation of molecular and warm ionised gas triggered by hot outflows

Philipp Girichidis, Thorsten Naab, Stefanie Walch +1

Molecular outflows contributing to the matter cycle of star forming galaxies are now observed in small and large systems at low and high redshift. Their physical origin is still un…

Suppressed heat conductivity in the intracluster medium: implications for the magneto-thermal instability

Thomas Berlok, Eliot Quataert, Martin E. Pessah +1

In the outskirts of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters, the temperature decreases with radius. Due to the weakly collisional nature of the plasma, these regions are s…

Braginskii viscosity on an unstructured, moving mesh accelerated with super-time-stepping

Thomas Berlok, Ruediger Pakmor, Christoph Pfrommer

We present a method for efficiently modelling Braginskii viscosity on an unstructured, moving mesh. Braginskii viscosity, i.e., anisotropic transport of momentum with respect to th…

The impact of magnetic fields on cold streams feeding galaxies

Thomas Berlok, Christoph Pfrommer

High redshift, massive halos are observed to have sustained, high star formation rates, which require that the amount of cold gas in the halo is continuously replenished. The cooli…

On the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability with smooth initial conditions -- Linear theory and simulations

Thomas Berlok, Christoph Pfrommer

The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) is a standard test of hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation codes and finds many applications in astrophysics. The classic li…
