Local models of two-temperature accretion disc coronae. II. Ion thermal conduction and the absence of disc evaporation
Christopher J. Bambic, Eliot Quataert, Matthew W. Kunz +1
We use local stratified shearing-box simulations with magnetic field-aligned thermal conduction to study an idealized model of the coupling between a cold, radiatively efficient ac…
Local models of two-temperature accretion disc coronae. I. Structure, outflows, and energetics
Christopher J. Bambic, Eliot Quataert, Matthew W. Kunz
We use local stratified shearing-box simulations to elucidate the impact of two-temperature thermodynamics on the thermal structure of coronae in radiatively efficient accretion fl…
AGN Feeding and Feedback in M84: From Kiloparsec Scales to the Bondi Radius
C. J. Bambic, H. R. Russell, C. S. Reynolds +3
We present the deepest Chandra observation to date of the galaxy M84 in the Virgo Cluster, with over 840 kiloseconds of data provided by legacy observations and a recent 730 kilose…
Cosmic Ray Transport in the Ionized and Neutral ISM: MHD-PIC Simulations and Effective Fluid Treatments
Christopher J. Bambic, Xue-Ning Bai, Eve C. Ostriker
Cosmic rays (CRs) have critical impacts in the multiphase interstellar medium (ISM), driving dynamical motions in low-density plasma and modifying the ionization state, temperature…
Efficient Production of Sound Waves by AGN Jets in the Intracluster Medium
Christopher J. Bambic, Christopher S. Reynolds
We investigate the interaction between active galactic nuclei (AGN) jets and the intracluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. Specifically, we study the efficiency with which jets…
AGN feedback in the Phoenix cluster
Ciro Pinto, Christopher J. Bambic, Jeremy S. Sanders +5
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) release a huge amount of energy into the intracluster medium (ICM) with the consequence of offsetting cooling and star formation (AGN feedback) in the…
Limits on turbulent propagation of energy in cool-core clusters of galaxies
C. J. Bambic, C. Pinto, A. C. Fabian +2
We place constraints on the propagation velocity of bulk turbulence within the intracluster medium of three clusters and an elliptical galaxy. Using Reflection Grating Spectrometer…
Suppression of AGN-Driven Turbulence by Magnetic Fields in a Magnetohydrodynamic Model of the Intracluster Medium
Christopher J. Bambic, Brian J. Morsony, Christopher S. Reynolds
We investigate the role of AGN feedback in turbulent heating of galaxy clusters. Specifically, we analyze the production of turbulence by g-modes generated by the supersonic expans…
