Magnetic field generation by the Weibel instability at temperature gradients in collisionless plasmas
Yutaka Fujita, Tsunehiko N. Kato, Nobuhiro Okabe
The Weibel instability could be responsible for the generation of magnetic fields in various objects such as gamma-ray bursts, jets from active galactic nuclei, and clusters of gal…
The Difficulty of the Heating of Cluster Cooling Flows by Sound Waves and Weak Shocks
Yutaka Fujita, Takeru Ken Suzuki
We investigate heating of the cool core of a galaxy cluster through the dissipation of sound waves and weak shocks excited by the activities of the central active galactic nucleus…
Does a Galaxy Fly?
Yutaka Fujita
Disk galaxies in a cluster of galaxies are moving in hot gas filling the cluster. Generally, they are moving at transonic or supersonic velocities. If ram-pressure stripping is ins…
The Generation of Magnetic Fields and X-ray Observations
Yutaka Fujita, Tsunehiko N. Kato
We show that strong magnetic fields can be generated at shock waves associated with formation of galaxies or clusters of galaxies by the Weibel instability, an instability in colli…
