On the generation of astrophysically-relevant intermittent magnetic turbulence in the laboratory
Itamar Cohen, Weipeng Yao, Archie F. A. Bott +18
Intermittent magnetic turbulence, namely the presence of non-ordered and clusterized fields, is a ubiquitous phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas. It is currently understo…
Resolving Star Cluster Formation in Galaxy Simulations with Cosmic Ray Feedback
Brandon Sike, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Oleg Y. Gnedin +4
Star clusters host the massive stars responsible for feedback in star-forming galaxies. Stellar feedback shapes the interstellar medium (ISM), affecting the formation of future sta…
Disentangling AGN Feedback and Sloshing in the Perseus Cluster with XRISM: Insights from Simulations
Elena Bellomi, John A. ZuHone, Nhut Truong +10
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with XRISM has revealed complex, non-monotonic velocity dispersion profiles in the Perseus cluster, pointing to a complex interplay between at le…
Particle Acceleration in Magnetized Shear-Driven Turbulence
Mingxuan Liu, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Ellen Zweibel +5
Shear flows, ubiquitous in space and astrophysical plasmas, can accelerate particles through turbulence excited by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. We present the first numerical…
Robust magnetic field estimates in star-forming galaxies with the equipartition formula in the absence of equipartition
H. -H. Sandy Chiu, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Maria Werhahn +2
The equipartition model is widely used to estimate magnetic field strength from synchrotron intensity in radio galaxies, yet the validity of its underlying assumptions remains unce…
Magnetic fields in the intracluster medium with TNG-Cluster: properties, morphology, and tangential anisotropy
Katrin Lehle, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Dylan Nelson +2
We characterize the magnetic field properties of 352 massive galaxy clusters from the TNG-Cluster magnetohydrodynamical cosmological simulation with a focus on central magnetic fie…
