Multiphase gas in Circumgalactic cloud complexes: Insights from kiloparsec-scale Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence Simulations
Rajsekhar Mohapatra, Alankar Dutta, Prateek Sharma
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is the diffuse gas surrounding a galaxy's halo, and it plays a vital role in the galactic baryon cycle. However, its mass distribution across the vi…
A Comparative Study of Isothermal Turbulence Statistics: Fourier Space Driving vs. Point Source Driving
Tejahni Desire, Chang-Goo Kim, Rajsekhar Mohapatra
The turbulence driving parameter (; the ratio of the density to velocity fluctuations) is widely used to infer the dominant mode of…
The Origin of Da Scaling: Suppressed Cooling in Fast-Cooling Mixing Layers
Lachlan Lancaster, Drummond B. Fielding, Rajsekhar Mohapatra +1
In numerical experiments simulating Turbulent Radiative Mixing Layers (TRMLs) it is observed that as the cooling time in the mixed gas, , becomes very short compared…
Ceci n'est pas une Couche de Mélange: The Meaning of Resolved Turbulent Radiative Mixing
Lachlan Lancaster, Rajsekhar Mohapatra, Drummond B. Fielding +1
Turbulent Radiative Mixing Layers (TRMLs) are of fundamental importance to the transport of energy and momentum in multi-phase, astrophysical fluids. We use measurements of the "mi…
The Type Ia Supernova and Asymptotic Giant Branch Stellar Ejecta-regulated Interstellar Medium of Massive Galaxies
Rajsekhar Mohapatra, Eliot Quataert, Drummond Fielding +1
Observations and theory suggest that Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) heating and mass loss from asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars play a crucial role in the interstellar medium (ISM) o…
XMAGNET: Velocity structure functions of active galactic nucleus-driven turbulence in the multiphase intracluster medium
M. Fournier, P. Grete, M. Brüggen +5
Significant theoretical and observational efforts are underway to investigate the properties of turbulence in the hot plasma that pervades galaxy clusters. Spectroscopy has been us…
