Simulations of Precessing Jets and the Formation of X-shaped Radio Galaxies
Chris Nolting, Jay Ball, Tri M. Nguyen
Jet precession is sometimes invoked to explain asymmetries in radio galaxy (RG) jets and "X/S/Z-shape" radio galaxies, caused by the presence of a binary black hole companion to th…
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…
Observations and Simulations of Radio Emission and Magnetic Fields in Minkowski's Object
C. Nolting, M. Lacy, S. Croft +4
We combine new data from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array with previous radio observations to create a more complete picture of the ongoing interactions between the radio jet fr…
Simulated Interactions Between Radio Galaxies and Cluster Shocks -- 2: Jet Axes Orthogonal to Shock Normals
Chris Nolting, T. W. Jones, Brian O'Neill +1
We report a 3D MHD simulation study of the interactions between radio galaxies and galaxy-cluster-media shocks in which the incident shock normals are orthogonal to the bipolar AGN…
Interactions Between Radio Galaxies and Cluster Shocks - 1: Jet Axes Aligned with Shock Normals
Chris Nolting, T. W. Jones, Brian O'Neill +1
We report from a study utilizing 3D MHD simulations, including cosmic-ray electrons, of the interactions between radio galaxies (RGs) and dynamically active ICMs. Here we consider…
Using Collisions of AGN Outflows with ICM Shocks as Dynamical Probes
T. W. Jones, Chris Nolting, B. J. O'Neill +1
In this paper we lay out a simple set of relationships connecting the dynamics of fast plasma jets to the dynamical state of their ambient media. The objective is to provide a tool…
