Compression-Driven Kinetic Instabilities in Magnetically Arrested Disks
Vedant Dhruv, Lorenzo Sironi, Jordy Davelaar +1
Event horizon-scale observations of low-luminosity black hole accretion flows favor magnetically arrested disks, characterized by dynamically important magnetic fields ($β\lesssim1…
Electron Heating in the Trans-Relativistic Perpendicular Shocks of Tilted Accretion Flows
Lorenzo Sironi, Aaron Tran
General relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of black hole tilted disks -- where the angular momentum of the accretion flow at large distances is misaligned with re…
Electron Re-acceleration via Ion Cyclotron Waves in the Intracluster Medium
Aaron Tran, Lorenzo Sironi, Francisco Ley +2
In galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM) is expected to host a diffuse, long-lived, and invisible population of "fossil" cosmic-ray electrons (CRe) with 1-100 MeV energies…
A Heating Mechanism via Magnetic Pumping in the Intracluster Medium
Francisco Ley, Ellen G. Zweibel, Mario Riquelme +3
Turbulence driven by AGN activity, cluster mergers and galaxy motion constitutes an attractive energy source for heating the intracluster medium (ICM). How this energy dissipates i…
Energy Dependence of Synchrotron X-Ray Rims in Tycho's Supernova Remnant
Aaron Tran, Brian J. Williams, Robert Petre +2
Several young supernova remnants exhibit thin X-ray bright rims of synchrotron radiation at their forward shocks. Thin rims require strong magnetic field amplification beyond simpl…
